Keith Sykes wears many hats in the music industry: singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, record company executive, etc. For 30 years, Keith has been a defining force in a business that for him continues to be first and foremost a passion. The fact that he's able to make a living doing what he loves is just a bonus.
Bouncing around over the years from Memphis to New York City and Austin to Key West, Keith finally returned to Memphis to make a home and make a difference in the wonderful world that is Memphis music.
