About Me

SENSEI was born in Toronto, Canada. His parents migrated to Canada in the early 70s from Peru. From an early age, Sensei was constantly surrounded by both Latin and American mainstream music. At the age of 7, he began studying classical piano at the (OCM) Ontario Conservatory of Music, and by 9 years of age he was promoted to the (RCM) Royal Conservatory of Music. There he specialized alongside many of Canadas greatest pianists. Throughout Sensei's education, he studied to master percussion, keyboards and synthesizers. He was recognized as one of the most talented young musicians among his contemporaries and received many honours. Local musicians quickly recognized Sensei's potential and talent. At the age of 15, he began performing with Canadas hottest Latin Bands. He was named Sensei because of his ability to master musical tracks. His love for Latin Percussion, Hip-hop, Rnb, Salsa, Merengue and Caribbean Rhythms inspired Keith to begin creating his own musical style. Sensei is highly respected and well recognized for his distinguished manner of music producing, composing, and arranging. Sensei, now realizing his potential as a music producer, started his very own company called Sensei Productions. He continues to produce and create alongside many of the top recording engineers in the industry which has enabled him to establish (TEN) Trademark Entertainment North Inc.
Sensei has performed with many popular acts within many genres of music. His main instrument on stage remains his first love and talent, the piano. Synthesizers, drum machines and CD turntables are also featured in much of his music. Sensei's vast experience and adaptability coupled with his keen sense of fine music enable him to multitask. Whether he is playing the keyboard, triggering drum samples, and playing many sounds in real time, Sensei is the master in live performances and in the recording studio.
To date, Sensei has already produced two number one hits on Canadian radio. His first, By My Side followed by Take Her Home for Fito Blanko Higher Level Album, have already reached top 40 status in Canada, in New York, in Miami, and in California! Senseis intellectually produced tracks feature a blend of Reggaeton, Dancehall, and Latin Rhythms. He is currently createing and producing remixes for artists under Interscope Records, Universal Spain, Universal Japan, and Universal Canada.
