Details:
Born in Dallas, Texas, 1970, Mr. Anderson discovered his love for music at the early age of 10. He started playing drums, until he found his true passion for the saxophone. He began studying with James Wilson, who would give him a pinch for each mistake, which he attributes, today, for his dedication and hard work. At this time, Keith Anderson was accepted to Arts Magnet High School later re-named The School for Visual and Performing Arts, where Keith was under direct leadership of Bart Marantz.

Mr. Anderson's talents and unique flair for playing the saxophone can be attributed to much and many. Keith started playing locally with a singer by the name of Pat Peterson. Later, Keith would be discovered by the legendary Les McCann. This was a man of major influence and of many commendations. Since then, Mr. Anderson has traveled the world as Lesâs featured soloist, who has performed for thousands and played with many all around the globe. These artists include Roy Hargrove, Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, Ken Hicks, Erykah Badu, Bobby Lyle, Kirk Franklin, and the great Cab Calloway. Mr.Andersonâs most recent engagement consists of being named âthe newest of the Texas Tenors,â and recording with Al Jereau on his new grammy nominated CD âAccentuate The Possitiveâ. On this project he accompanied Mark Simmons, Larry Williams, and Christian McBride. To show Mr. Anderson's âDiversityâ he was also recruited to record with hip-hop guru Kanye Westâs on his grammy award winning CD âCollege Dropout,â and recently recorded on Kanyeâs new release, âLate Registrationâ. These projects forecast many unending opportunities for all jeundras of music. Keith is now currently touring with Bass Mistro Marcus Miller, and getting his new band Full Of Soul up and running.

Mr. Anderson views his music as motivational and inspirational. âDiversityâ, his debut CD, lives up to its name. Andersonâs accomplishments include published songwriting for such artists as Roy Hargrove, Les McCann, Paul Jackson Jr. and many other artist.
