Keith is Dublin born, raised in Kildare and now living the American dream in LA. Music has always been his first love and passion and the fact he can call it his job is a dream come true. His career has taken him all over the world, to places he’d only dreamed of visitng. Keith has recently signed a Management Deal with the legendary Phil Quartararo – Former CEO at Virgin records, Warner bros and EMI. He has also been hand picked by Grammy award winning producer Robert Cutarella who has had hits with Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, Air Supply, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, The Police, Elton John, Celine Dion, to name but a few.

His new single ‘Say Something’ is featured in the movie ‘High Strung’. ‘Say Something’ is the first song he wrote when he landed in LA and it’s about honesty, integrity and a need for human connection.

His passion for music and for life in general can be felt when in his presence, it’s no surprise he’s an inspiration for so many people. After a gig with Hozier a while back Keith said “It’s such a privilege to be able to share my music and the stage with some incredible people. I’ve worked extremely hard in the studio for the last few years to get my music and my vocals to where they need to be and I’m so thrilled that it has been received so well by some of the most respected people in the industry.”

His plans include continuing to do what he loves within the music and entertainment industry, taking it day by day and opportunity by opportunity.

Believe Management is a full service management agency, we aim to provide a one-stop solution for artists. At Believe, our main aim is to ‘Believe’ in our artists. We want to provide the opportunity for them to navigate through the industry as who they really are and we want to help them spread their message within the industry. Our artists have spoken out in the past about bullying and mental health both of which we feel very strongly about here at Believe. Believe Management was created to give undiscovered artists an opportunity to have their music heard by the right people, in the right places. We are advocates for these artists. We started with music management, and in the last 12 months have moved into artist branding, strategy and partnership services. Our vision is to build a full service music management firm that leverages technology to find, develop and promote emerging artists. We are combining top music and tech talent to create innovative music management methods and tools. New artists typically struggle to get out of the gate due to lack of industry experience and resources. At Believe Management, we seek to create a neutral platform. One that gives all artists an equal chance for success. We help our artists search within themselves to achieve their goals.

“My coaching focus is on 360 degree approach to living fully. It’s about mindset, lifestyle, and nutrition. With my clients, I work on overcoming challenges, building resistance, letting go of fear and the stories that hold us back. No matter what age they are, they are in crisis and I coach them from wherever they are to where they want to be. Bridging the gap between disappointment and utter fulfilment. Sometimes nutrition is a part of it (what we feed our body feeds the brain, which feeds our potential). Sometimes people lose weight just by shedding the pain they’ve held on to for so long. I love that my job is never the same and I get to play investigator all day long (I’ve always loved puzzles and detective shows).”
