A graduate of the Eastman School of Music (2018) and Florida State University (2020), Keith has a wide musical background and a rich singing voice.

Keith’s voice has been hailed as a “true bass...stood out, even in its very brief moment in the sun” (Susan Elliot, Musical America) and a “pleasing bass baritone...spews out a potent and rangy denunciation that shows a voice of considerable size” (James Sohre, Opera Today), and "...stellar singing, and it's abundantly clear why the moment we hear his stunning, classically trained voice." (Kerry Clawson, Akron Beacon Journal) Keith is the recipient of an Encouragement Award from the Metropolitan Opera’s Laffont Competition and the Barbara and Stanley Richman Memorial Award from Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. His most recent engagements include the role of Dr. Podsnap in Tobias Picker’s Awakenings, singing as a Gerdine Young Artist with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, and the role of Colline in La boheme with Florida Grand Opera.
