To Keys World,
I create music from a place of truth, emotion, and lived experience. Rooted in old-school soul, my work reflects growth, healing, and the ongoing process of unbecoming and becoming — through piano, voice, and honesty.

I began as an oratorical speaker, reciting poetry and competing in spoken-word competitions. I started playing piano at the age of six, though music felt present in my life long before that.
My journey has been shaped by learning, growth, and the people I’ve met along the way. My first piano instructor was Jimmy Kay Kendrick, a blind musician and my neighbor.
Studying with him gave me permission to learn with patience, gentleness, and trust — lessons that continue to influence how I create today.
My story carries both beauty and pain, and I allow space for all of it. That balance is what lives in my music.

Many people first came to know 35Keys as a performer — creating beautiful grooves on the piano, bringing familiar songs to life, and building real connection with people through music. That joy, that energy, and that love for entertaining will always be part of who I am.
But there is also 35Keys the artist — the singer, songwriter, and storyteller with something real to say. The music I write comes from my life, my experiences, and my truth. It’s personal, honest, and uniquely mine.
Both sides exist together:
the performer who shares the music, and the artist who creates it.
And now, it’s time for my songs and my stories to step forward.
"We Ain't Gotta Hide It"
My name is Kalayah S. Grant, but to many, I’m known as '35Keys. Normally, I would say that I am an artist, musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, model, producer, and poet, born and raised in Miami, Florida—but I’m all of that and so much more. I’m currently navigating a major stage of unbecoming, learning, and self-discovery, and I want to share that journey. I created this personal series to discuss the topics that matter most to me and my community. I’ll be exploring every aspect of life from my perspective, including my healing journey, navigating the complexities of the industry, dealing with trauma, sexuality, spirituality, dating, social issues, success, individuality, family, music, and what it means to be a Black woman. I'll also dive into mental health, dreams, love, and much more. Join me. Let’s talk about it.
