Multi-instrumentalist producer and songwriter Barney Keen makes music for the long drive and nature’s embrace. Influenced by a dynamic range of styles including Brazilian MPB (having spent time in northwest Brazil, learned Portuguese and written songs on classical guitar), experimental electronic music, folk, soul and other rhythms, it’s clear in Barney’s own creations that he’s not only a lover, but a delicate alchemist of those sonic worlds.

Unsurprisingly, he has found home in other kindred spirits exploring music with a similar curiosity. Having recorded/written with and found fans in James Blake, Lianne La Havas, Ego Ella May, Demae, Sam Crowe, Fred Thomas, Paul White, Kae Tempest and — having stayed at his house during a 2023 trip to Rio, Brazil — Milton Nascimento.
