I have been gigging around Wellington (the Capitol of New Zealand) as a Keyboard Player for just over 15 years. My work has also included playing solo piano in cocktail bars in Wellington's hotels and leading restaurants and I have also played with a few funk/jazz groups, cover rockers, theatre orchestras as well as several swing/dance bands, the most popular being the Benj Berryman Hiptet back in the 1990's.
During 2007 I worked in a Joe Cocker tribute band called simply "Hitchcock Railway" which was a lot of fun. I have always loved music and picked up a guitar very young, which was my passion until I turned 18.
Heading off to Victoria University to continue my Education, I enrolled in the Classical Music programme as they did not have Courses on Rock'n'Roll or Jazz. This introduced me to the piano and of course, the techniques and styles of music's structures and forms. It has proved an invaluable training for me. I completed a Degree on Music Composition.
In 2003 I made an album of my own material which I started composing back in the 1990's. A strictly private project, I sold all the pressings at my gigs and approached a number of local record shops about stocking it too. It was here (at Wonderland Records) that I met Dene Kellaway who was very excited about the album and it turned out he owned a record label called Tree.
He signed me up in 2007. A major make-over of the cover came next and suddenly my album had been titled "Stronger" and launched at CD Baby in America and supplied to 27 global mp3 downloading sites like iTunes, Tradebits, Napster and many more.
After a slow start, things picked up in 2008 and the title song "Stronger" made it into Tree's Top 20 Digital Sales Charts. I find the new way music is sold and delivered, alien having grown up with first records, then compact discs but the pace continued to increase during the last part of 2008 and I have released the Single "Dust In The Wind" with Chris Adams and completed my second Album "Perfection" , which was released in late September, 2009, as a digital release on Tree who's Golbal Distribution and Marketing has been taken over by The Orchard (New York) in America.
- Bob Keeton
Bob Keeton is an accomplished pianist, composer, arranger and singer who's style can best be described as a 'darker' version of
Elton John as his music has a spark of funky jazz to it which
breaks out every so often.
Bob has just completed a joint
project with the British Guitarist, Composer, Keyboadist, Chris
Adams and the two are going
to amaze everyone in 2009.

Bob Keeton's Digital Delivery Song List:
Bob Keeton is a New Zealand artist based in
the capital city of Wellington and records all
his own music himself under the name
Q-Labs Productions
Being a working musician, he tends to work in
the background with others but once the World
realises just how talented he is, he will not be
able to hide in the background. Tree's UK artist Chris Adams teamed up with Bob to record an Australian Bushfire Charity song "Dust In The Wind" and in September 2009, the Album "Perfection" was issued as a digital release.
Clearly the name Bob Keeton will become better known both globally as well as in New Zealand and his ability to blend in with others will ensure he finds himself working more and more with other International Stars. It could be said
that Bob Keeton is an Artists' Artist simply because they recognise his huge
talents as a composer, pianist and performer.
