“I wanna show people what kind of things I can do live; I’m more than just a producer in my bedroom,” he says referring to the preparation for a live show, “I use a lot of effects when it comes to producing things so translating that to a live setup is kind of a challenge. I have to go back and make live versions of the songs for the purpose of the show.” Two years ago, when Keshi was producing and writing songs from home, it was almost like he never expected to be going back and practicing lyrics for a live performance. “It’s interesting,” he says, “In this new wave of bedroom made music where you don’t have to perform it live, once you’ve written it and once you’ve recorded it, there is no reason to sing your own song again. You write it, you record it, and then it’s out on the internet and then onto the next one.” Ironically now, he is going back to relearn the words he has written to take a big step forward in his career. The sold-out show at Warehouse Live was just the beginning for, Keshi promises he has a lot more in store for his listeners, so stay excited because he is excited, too.
