A Prodigy Returns....In the early 80s Ken Keating and his group performed on weekends on the Las Vegas Strip at some of the best casinos. Why just weekends? Because they couldnt stay out late on a school night.Ken was a musical success in one of the worlds greatest entertainment meccas by the time he was 17. And when he auditioned for The Liberace Foundation, he won not one, but two scholarships one for piano and another for voice. It was obvious to everyone who heard him perform that he would have an incredibly successful career.And he did. He was extremely successful. However, surprisingly, it was not music where he chose to focus his talents. Instead he opted for 9-5, a suit and a tie, creating a solid future for his family (all of whom have musical gifts). For 20 years he climbed the corporate ladder, reaching the top rungs.But the music was always there; he still felt its draw, its allure. On a whim, he caught a red eye flight from New York City to L.A. to audition for the renowned William Hall Master Chorale. He was running late, the last one to audition. And he was chosen on the spot. For the next several years he performed with the Chorale in such places as the Hollywood Bowl and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with orchestras like the L.A. Philharmonic and the Boston Pops, and with such celebrities as Carol Burnett and Hal Linden. He even had time to lend his voice to Celine Dion's Christmas album. and all this while continuing his corporate responsibilities.
But the music was back in his life. And the desire to perform on his own was building. He left the Chorale to pursue his dream as a solo artist and began working on music that spoke to him, music that had lyrics that made sense, music with a melody, music that touches the heart.Ken Keating has returned to his music a prodigy no more. Now he brings a maturity and understanding that elevates the music to new heights. This is a man who has lived his life and he's sharing all the things he's learned - its a journey you dont want to miss.MySpace Backgrounds by Iron Spider
