ABOUT

​

North Alabama native Keyton specializes in blending emo melodies, alt-rock hooks, and post-hardcore intensity. Over a career spanning nearly two decades, his sound has evolved dramatically since starting as a solo acoustic touring artist.

His newest release is a perfect sonic link between classic emo nostalgia and modern alternative power. "Lucid Dream," launches with fierce guitars before building into emotive vocals that explore the intimate tension between secret desires and fleeting dreams. With a commitment to raw honesty and a sound praised by regional outlets for "angst-filled sonic landscape" and "soulful vocals,"

Keyton remains a standout voice for fans of Fall Out Boy, This Wild Life, A Day To Remember, and the defining sounds of early 2000s emo-rock. His 2023 release featured the work of Alkaline Trio drummer Atom Willard, bassist Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs), Grammy-nominated engineer Bobby Holland, and production talents of singer-songwriter Billy the Kid. 

​

Keyton spent years touring the southeast (most notably 2007-2012) as a solo acoustic artist, opening for such indie greats as The Ataris, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday, Say Anything), Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids), Anthony Raneri (Bayside), and Mike Herrera (MXPX). ​
