Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1970, Keith Anderson discovered his love for music at the early age of 10. He started out playing drums until he found his true passion for the saxophone. He began studying with James Wilson, who would give him a pinch for each mistake, which he attributes today for his dedication and hard work. Keith was accepted to Arts Magnet High School (later renamed The School for Visual and Performing Arts), where he was under the direct leadership of Bart Marantz.
Keith started playing locally with a singer by the name of Pat Peterson, who was one of the original Raylettes and now is one of the singers for John Cougar Mellancamp. Later, Keith was discovered by the legendary Les McCann, a man of major influence and many commendations. Since then, Keith has traveled the world as Les’ featured soloist, performing for thousands all around the globe and playing with the likes of Roy Hargrove, Erykah Badu, Bobby Lyle, Kirk Franklin and the great Cab Calloway.
Keith has recorded with Al Jereau and Kanye West, and his accomplishments include published songwriting for Roy Hargrove, Paul Jackson Jr. and various artists for Sony Records.
