About

keshi, born Casey Luong, is the enigmatic force redefining the boundaries of modern R&B and lo-fi pop. With a sound that feels like a late-night drive through a neon-lit city, keshi’s music blends ethereal vocals, minimalist production, and introspective lyricism, creating a sonic landscape that resonates deeply with a generation navigating love, loss, and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from artists like Frank Ocean and Bon Iver, keshi’s genre-defying style is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, weaving together elements of hip-hop, indie, and electronic music. A former oncology nurse, keshi’s rise to fame is a testament to his relentless DIY ethos. Starting with self-produced tracks on SoundCloud, he quickly gained a cult following, culminating in his 2022 debut album, *GABRIEL*, which debuted in the top 20 of the Billboard 200. His breakout single, “like i need u,” became a viral sensation, solidifying his place as a global phenomenon. Beyond his music, keshi’s cultural impact lies in his ability to connect with fans on a deeply personal level. His Vietnamese-American heritage and candid exploration of identity have made him a beacon for underrepresented voices in the industry. Collaborations with artists like Jeremy Zucker and appearances at major festivals like Lollapalooza have further cemented his status as a trailblazer. Currently, keshi is riding the wave of his sophomore album, *HELL/HEAVEN*, a project that delves into duality and emotional extremes. With sold-out tours and a growing international fanbase, keshi is not just an artist—he’s a movement.
