Keolya

BIOGRAPHY

Young Montreal musician Keolya is the new artist to follow! After many years of work, it’s been nearly one year now that he started sharing his music, finally showing us his multiple talents. Keolya produces everything, from the first note of the piano to the lyrics of his songs. Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and singer, he has nothing to envy to any other musician. There is also a goal behind Keolya’s music: the desire to offer a world where everyone can feel accepted and understood.

Keolya’s sound is not comparable, playing between melancholia with his elegant piano sequences and more electronic elements with the bass line. It’s with the help of hit covers that he put his mark in the music world with “Hold On We’re Going Home” by Drake and “In The End” by Linkin Park. With these covers, he proved that he was able to turn any song into his own. With original material also in the progress, Keolya is not to neglect when we talk about new music in Montreal.



PRESS

“Part of Keolya’s charm is his ability to keep his audience guessing as to how he will interpret various songs. Even within a single playing of “In The End,” one cannot predict where he will go with the track and how he will portray the themes of the original.”
