Talia Keys (she/they) is a powerhouse musician and unapologetic activist who proves that art and advocacy are strongest when they move together. From her home base in Salt Lake City to festival stages across the country, Keys has built a reputation for electrifying performances that fuse blues grit, soulful R&B, and funk-fueled rock into a sound as defiant as it is uplifting. Her shows are more than concerts — they are communal spaces of celebration and resistance, where LGBTQ+ pride and the fight for justice take center stage.

Her most recent album, Lessons, reflects that mission with bold clarity. Written and produced by Keys, the record takes aim at patriarchy, systemic racism, and inequality, while also radiating hope and resilience. From the rallying cry of “Each One Teach One” to the funky urgency of “Ain’t Got Time For This,” and the luminous strength of “Born in the Light,” Keys delivers music that inspires action while reminding listeners of the power of joy.

Over the past decade, Keys has shared stages with legends like the Indigo Girls, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Michael Franti, and Thievery Corporation. But her greatest impact lies in her unrelenting advocacy: as a queer artist, Keys uses her platform to amplify marginalized voices, challenge discrimination, and create space for authenticity in every note she plays. For Talia Keys, music is not only a calling — it’s activism set to rhythm, a declaration of pride, and an open invitation to dance, rise, and resist.
