Curt Keyz is a Great Falls, South Carolina native pianist and singer-songwriter now based in Charlotte, who likens his sound as “Marvin Gaye meets Frank Ocean with southern charm.” In 2019, Keyz earned a Stellar Award for his songwriting and composing alongside gospel artist Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson and R&B artist Spanky Williams. Keyz released his latest project, CURT(IS), in 2021.

“CURT(IS) is an exploration of identity. It explores Curtis Hayes, a Black man, a Southern man, a man who has experienced love and loss, a man who is rooted from a generation of resilience, and a man who is loved by God and his community.” – Jamel Smith, CLTure
