Shareef Keyes is a Brooklyn-born frontman known for high-energy funk-hip-hop performances that fuse sun-soaked 70s funk influences with contemporary urban rhythms. Having opened for Roy Ayers at BRIC House and performed at venues like Harlem Arts Festival, Pianos, Bowery Electric, Public Factory, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and Webster Hall, Shareef continues to build a modern, groove-forward career. From the debut full-length Cooking Something to the more expansive My Mood with The Groove, his sound has evolved while staying rooted in funk, jazz-funk, R&B, and hip-hop. His 2024 releases expand the digital footprint with tracks like Needs & Wants, You Won’t, F U, Que Te Pasa, and A Woman’s Love on major platforms. A Brooklyn Saint project signals ongoing creativity and live work into 2025 and beyond.
