Keenan Baxter is a young (22 years old) but accomplished (award nominated) musician and was just accepted by Hollywood's number one independent A&R firm A&R Select. Keenan's Dance, Trance and Electronic inspired music brings a fresh angle to several genres by fusing their influences in creative new contexts. Keenan's multi-layered compositions have already garnered this musician positive critical attention including Keenan's song titled "1 Time" used on MTV's popular show "My Super Sweet 16."
Keenan is also the wearer of many hats, being involved in songwriting, production and, of course, performance, working every day in his studio. Keenan is actively seeking a record label to put its resources behind Keenan's eclectic talents, adding momentum to an already climbing career. Working in a variety of genres .. Hip-Hop, Dance, Techno, Adult, New Age, Trance, Goth, Celtic, Classical, Club, House AND Soundtrack .. Keenan is a promising talent whose abilities encompass multiple styles and skills.
Baxter's formidable aptitude in the world of music has already garnered him noteworthy praise. Keenan's most recent release .. ..Crave the Floor.., an album of high-energy dance tracks .. nabbed a pre-nomination for the 2006 Grammys in the best record and best album categories. The album's titular song made the grade, earning popularity in the Latino Market .. where it grabbed a slot on the LatinPool Jan 06 Dance Mix CD .. and making the charts in the United States Record Pools. ..Decent.. crashed into the Top 40 Indie Records listings on a global scale.
It's no surprise Keenan is a regular visitor in the Top 10 at IsOnLiveRadio.com and over 45,000 ringtone downloads in 2006.
.Keenan Baxter casts a wide net artistically,.. according to a representative of A&R Select. ..Keenan is young but has already mastered a number of genres and ably weaves the elements of each, producing top notch representations of all the styles for which he is earning a name as both songwriter and performer.
.In addition to his already complex and intelligent compositions recorded in his studio, Keenan brings new and interesting interpretations of his own work on stage. The live arena is where Keenan really shines, presenting his distinct flavors and improvising new layers and textures for his songs...
Baxter is continuing his experience in the music industry, having recently completed a record producing course at Music Industry Workshop in Chicago. His songs have found niches in radio advertising and have also seen 17 of his songs tapped for publication by Pinnacles Records, a label that touts itself on working with only the best and which has touted Keenan as ..unique talent...
That he is. While Keenan may work with familiar genres, he takes them in new and interesting directions. With A&R Select's talented team of industry insiders at his back, Keenan Baxter has a prosperous future to look forward to.
