A Chicago native, Keith Harris’s career continues to gain momentum, with his stellar reputation continuing to establish him as a much sought-after artist throughout the international music industry.

In addition to his work with The Black Eyed Peas, Harris has worked with some of North America’s most talented recording artists including Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Jully Black, Earth Wind and Fire and John Legend. Harris was first introduced to the drums through his local church band.

Frierson instantly recognized his musical gifts and took this young talent under his wing.

“I’ve always been interested in music. As a young child, I would run to the TV during the commercials to watch them, and listen to the music. Once the regular program continued, I left the TV. Music is what I was called to do. I didn’t choose music, music chose me”. Keith Harris.
