Keyan Williams – Saxophonist (Alto, Tenor, Soprano), Flute, and Keyboards.

Keyan was born and raised in Brooklyn New York and is currently residing in Arizona. Keyan, began playing the saxophone at the age of eight, and has been playing ever since. He's always been a jazz lover, and his mother, a very loyal jazz fan herself, ensured Keyan had the ability to fulfill his dream and made it possible for him to attend private tutoring to build on his skills.

Keyan has never been shy to crowds, playing at various places like Carnegie Hall, and Avery Fisher Hall at an early age. Many fans of his music have conveyed to him that
his saxophone style reminds them of  Grover Washington Jr., and he is very humbled over the compliments. Grover Washington Jr., musically influenced Keyan, along
with many other luminous jazz artists like: Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery and Stanley Clarke. Over his years playing, Keyan has also had the honor of sharing the stage with Herbie Hancock, Chic Corea, and Junior Cook.

During Keyan's High School and College years many questioned his major in music, given his height of 6'6" . Most believed he would have been a great basketball player, but Keyan always loved to play his saxophone. He completed his Bachelors Degree in Music, and Business and when asked about what kept his heart in the music, he stated, "My love of God has kept me doing his will.  I love being Our Father's instrument.  Meeting Jazz greats like Zoot Sims, Herbie Hancock and Chic Corea has also been a great influence for me".

In Keyan's spare time, he loves to spend it with his wife Bridget and family. He also loves playing computer games, and traveling.

Musical Equipment: Yanagisawa Soprano Sax, Yamaha Tenor Sax, Selmer Alto Sax, Korg Triton Keyboard and many more musical instruments fill his studio.
