Keynes Lumingu, known professionally as Keynes Woods is a Toronto based rapper with a refreshing sound.

He was born in the capital city of DR Congo, where he spent the first eight years of his life before migrating to Ottawa, Ontario.

He grew up in a musical household and was forced to learn the piano at a young age. However, it wasn’t until his late teens that he saw music as a passion.

He particularly took a liking to rap music, and began to write his own lyrics at the age of sixteen. Keynes would record music on his laptop, but would never share it out of fear of public opinion.

He released his first song in 2015, and since then he’s released numerous other singles as well as a EP. Influenced mostly by the works of “Chance The Rapper”, Keynes has an unorthodox flow that seems to somehow work with soothing instrumentals.

His honest lyrics and willingness to be unique has earned him a small but loyal fan base, which he wishes to grow in the coming years.
