Keo & Them

Keo, of Keo & Them, is a Texas-born singer-songwriter based in Wichita, KS, who believes making music is as much about the songwriting as it is the meaningful connections forged along 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 modern dance-pop, Keo embraces the eclectic. The band’s 2023 album, "This Time Around," delves into universal insecurities, addressing themes such as 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 as long as you don’t take it too personally. While collaboration defines the band, Keo's lyrics act as the glue, weaving relatable stories based on her personal experiences. The 2024 re-release of “Fire” may be the most intimate yet, while 2025’s “Eyesore” throws all of that to the side and asks the audience one of the most universal questions of all, “you wanna dance?” If so, stop doubting yourself, stop “running your mouth” and let’s see where this new era takes us.
