“Check out one of the most astounding artist of his time…you WILL be entertained..He is one of my Top 5 favorite artists that ALWAYS puts on a killer LIVE SHOW!!! Anybody who has worked with the likes of QUINCY JONES & STEVIE WONDER has got to have something SPECIAL!!! MR DEREK MCKEITH brings the heat…be there!”— Unique74 Magazine“ost Bob Davis (CEO of Soul-Patrol.com) introduced the opening act for the evening, Derek McKeith, an up-and-coming and strong fresh face out of L.A. skilled with new school blends of R&B and Rock. McKeith received a warm reception and an award from Soul-Patrol for his current CD “The Signature” and his smooth deliverance. Kudos to McKeith for providing a flavor that stood up to the musical taste buds of a seemingly insatiable audience. The steel-nerved “rocksta” is the son of actress/producer Sheila Frazier-Atchison, (“Superfly”, Three the Hard Way, ” etc.) and former William Morris agent Sam McKeith, (Bruce Springstein, Stevie Wonder and others). Both proud parents were also in attendance that evening.”— EUR“Album Review: Derek McKeith - The Signature (Jazz/Funk/Blues/Soul) It is a well known fact that I am a card carrying member of the Black Rock Coalition (much like Michael Dukakis was of the ACLU) and have been for quite some time. Therefore I am already pre-disposed to liking this new release from Derek McKeith. So what does it sound like? Think about this equation of this groove; Kings X + Rick James + Hendrix (slow jams) + The Time + Willie Dixon + AC/DC + Return to Forever. Are you the kind of person who can groove to this kinda cream in your coffee, first thing in the morning? If that's the case, then buy this album but wait till you gotta get up early one morning before you play it for the very first time, then stick it into the CD player, crank the volume up (damn the neighbors). And then turn on the coffee pot. Your head will be clear before your coffee is ready, and you won't need any q-tips to clear the wax inside of your ears either. There is nothing subtle about"The Signature”— SPN“Derek McKeith — Something Strange As singer/songwriter/producer, Derek McKeith links R&B, hip-hop, and classic rock in this debut album."Minimal instrumentation with mucho soulful voicings. It gets down to the nitty gritty." — 'Lil Miss JuJu B, Amoebite Listen To A Song | Website”Campus Circle
