Keefff Has A Bunch Of New Vibes On The Way
Keefff, originally from Valencia, Trinidad & Tobago, draws inspiration from the rich musical traditions of soca, calypso, and reggae that have long been part of the cultural fabric. However, with the rise of Dancehall in the streets, the influence of this genre began to shape the music Keefff creates. He describes his genre as TriniBad Dancehall, highlighting the unique Trinidadian accent and style that sets it apart from Jamaican Dancehall. Keefff’s music features distinct flows, tones, and lyrics, incorporating local slangs and melodic vibes that occasionally
border on pop elements, depending on the song or story being conveyed.
Keefff’s musical journey began when a friend from high school recognized the potential in his Trinidadian accent and image, inspiring him to pursue music. The friend’s belief in Keefff’s purpose and talent ignited his passion for making music, which has stayed with him ever since. Starting from his Trinidadian roots, Keefff has embarked on a journey to develop his skills and unique style. While he acknowledges that he is still learning and growing, he excels in storytelling and versatility, effortlessly switching between singing and chanting in his songs, a skill not possessed by all artists.
As an artist, Keefff faces challenges, such as not always being able to generate ideas quickly or on the spot. However, he believes that his continuous learning process and ability to create well-put-together songs with a variety of ideas make him unique in his own way. Keefff draws inspiration from artists like Vybz Kartel, Rvssian, Slizza, Chronixx, Chronic Law, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, and Central Cee. These artists have impacted him with their well-crafted music, compelling storytelling, and ability to relate to real-life situations.
One of Keefff’s notable achievements was performing at TorontoBad on December 10th in Toronto, Canada. It was his first international show, and the experience of connecting with fans who had been influenced by his music was a great honor. The opportunity came about through effective marketing and promotion, catching the attention of party promoters who invited him to perform in Canada, covering all expenses.
Looking ahead, Keefff plans to release more singles in the next 60 days, with the aim of gaining recognition in the dancehall community and achieving a breakthrough hit that can propel his career. While he considers his international performance in Canada as a significant accomplishment, he believes there is more to achieve in the future.
Keefff’s next release, “Eastside Badness,” is scheduled for June 10th. The track focuses on the experiences and events that take place in the area where he grew up, shedding light on the realities of crime and violence faced by the youth in Trinidad and Tobago. Through his music, Keefff aims to convey a message of change and bring attention to the need for a stop to violence. His distinctive storytelling and cinematic visuals in his music videos further set him apart from other artists, allowing him to stand out and make a lasting impact.
Overall, Keefff’s music represents a fusion of Trinidadian influences with the contemporary sounds of Dancehall. Through his unique style, heartfelt storytelling, and commitment to addressing important issues, Keefff aspires to make a difference and uplift his community while leaving a mark on the music industry.
