Keith Martin (born September 22, 1966) is a Washington DC-born accomplished musician, playing the keyboards, the bass guitar, the drums, and percussion. Keith started writing music since he was 19 years old, Keith hung out a lot with musicians and songwriters, chief of them was Boyz II Men. In 1991, the vocal group and Keith joined MC Hammer’s tour. Seeing how prolific Keith is with his songwriting, Boyz Mike McCary finally brought Keith to Sony, where he eventually put out his first album, “It’s Long Overdue” in 1995. “It’s Long Overdue” contained, as its last track, the quiet little song that is “Because of You.” It is the opening track, “I’ll Never Find Someone Like You,” however that created enough stir to be included in the soundtrack of Bad Boys. After Parting Ways with Sony, Keith moved to California, where he met Producer and Label owner Greg G of GMG Music. He recorded and released "Validated" with GMG, the album contains hits like "Whateva U Need" and "Coming Home" in addition to a remix of "Because of You". GMG booked Keith on an tour of Asia, starting in the Phillippines.
