Bingkai Karya – Amid his headline tour stopping at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Houston-born singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist keshi unveils his brand-new single, “WANTCHU”, out now via Island Records.
“‘WANTCHU’ started as a simple recording exercise and ended up becoming a fully-fledged track with the help of Porter Robinson, Boylife, Nick Velez, and Daniel Chae,” keshi shares. “It’s the first song born in my brand-new home studio the place that will become my creative hub for the music ahead. This track also marks my return to a production style entirely crafted by me, something I love deeply, and serves as a proof-of-concept for my next album.”
The release follows keshi’s acclaimed sophomore album Requiem (2024), praised for its ever-expanding emotional and sonic spectrum from bright alt-pop and dancefloor energy to reflective indie and country undertones. His lyrics dive deep into life, death, love, and everything in between. Beyond his heartfelt vocals, keshi plays bass, guitar, piano, and viola, making his music as personal as it is universal.
In recent years, keshi has become a powerhouse on streaming platforms, amassing billions of plays from his EP trilogy, debut album GABRIEL (2022), and Requiem. His catalog has fueled multiple sold-out world tours, growing production value, and magnetic stage presence. This June, he made a style statement at Paris Fashion Week in Anthony Vaccarello’s designs for Saint Laurent, underscoring his growing global influence.
About keshi
Born Casey Luong and raised in Sugar Land, Texas, keshi built his career by channeling raw emotional vulnerability into song. Since 2017, he has released his acclaimed EP trilogy and debut album GABRIEL, now surpassing 3 billion streams blending pop, R&B, lo-fi, and hip hop into intimate explorations of love, loneliness, and loss.
After two relentless years of touring, keshi returned home to Texas to seek something new: time, space, and the creative freedom to make music without distractions. His home studio became the birthplace of Requiem, a record that encapsulates his lessons, growth, and evolution as both artist and individual.
GABRIEL catapulted him from sold-out club shows to two nights at Radio City Music Hall and The Greek Theatre, as well as arena-level performances worldwide. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard charts, making it the highest-charting debut album by a new artist in 2022. Viral singles like “LIMBO,” “UNDERSTAND,” and “GET IT” further cemented his global reach. He also contributed “War With Heaven” to the soundtrack of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, and collaborated with top brands including YSL, Fender, Microsoft, and Fendi.
