Mad Keys makes music that refuses to stay in one place. The St. Louis-bred, DMV-based artist, violinist, and keyboardist has spent years threading jazz vocabulary through hip-hop instincts, letting soul and experimental sound fill in the gaps. Brandon grew up classically trained on violin, started beatmaking alongside his brother when he was 13, and never saw those worlds as separate — just different dialects of the same language. From releasing his debut LoveWaves in 2017 to headlining a 27-show tour across Europe opening for Oddisee & Good Compny a decade later, Mad Keys has built his career the long way—through consistent output, genuine artistry, and an independent practice rooted in raw documentation, instrumental depth, and direct audience connection. That dedication has earned him a growing international following, sync placements with major brands, and performances on stages from Soho House LA to Jazz Café London.
