Keo of Keo & Them is a Texas-born singer-songwriter based in Wichita, Kan. who believes making music is about both the songs and the meaningful connections forged during the artistic journey. Formed in 2017, Keo & Them is more than a band: It's a collective of musicians and collaborators, each leaving a distinct mark on the project's evolving sound. With influences ranging from 70’s pop and R&B, to contemporary neo-soul, alt R&B, and beyond, Keo embraces the eclectic. The band's full lineup is fluid, fostering a sense of family within the tight-knit community. Nathan Harrison (guitar) and Cece Raheb (bass) have been a constant part of Keo & Them’s “Them” since the breakthrough EP, "Don't Say." The band’s 2023 EP, "This Time Around," delves into universal insecurities, addressing themes like anxiety, self-esteem, and self-worth. Despite the struggles depicted, Keo's words empower, conveying the message that, even when things aren't going well, you'll be okay in the end. While collaboration defines the band, Keo's lyrics act as the glue, weaving personal stories based on her experiences. “Fire” is the band’s first release of 2024, which will be followed by more emotionally insightful earworms as the year progresses.
