J. Edward Keyes

It’s now 25 years since I started sharing music publicly. At first it was DJing; in bars, then clubs and eventually on the radio. Five years later I took it a step further with our label First Word Records that has become my primary focus over the past two decades. I’ve thought a lot lately about why I’ve chosen to channel my love of music in this particular way and it invariably comes back to a very simple impulse.
