Spotlight: Keen

I've decided to bring the "Spotlights" section back. When I chose to do these, it was just meant to shine some light on personal friends of mine because honestly, I think I chill with some of the most interesting, creative, and talented people around. So without further ado...

Keen is a good friend i've known for probably 14 years now. And even after all these years, he still manages to surprise me. From rapping to photography (shit, even video games), it seems like every time Keen learns something new, he becomes a pro at it. Keen will probably be the first to tell you that regardless of where his talents take him, he's just happy doing what he does and being able to share it with the masses. All of a sudden, i'm looking forward to the next 14 years.

My name is...

Keane

a.k.a...

Keen, Dashes, Dashes Clay

I'm from...

Born in the Phillippines, residing in Fremont, but Union City is the stomping grounds.

But i'd rather be in...

Somewhere sandy preferably. Where I can sip on a mojito or something.

You should know me because...

Of the music, of the pictures, of the blog, or whatever.

I'm currently working on...

Staying savvy. And trying to express myself as stylishly or as creatively as I can.

Some people say I look like...

I just woke up or I'm up to no good.

Don't let anyone tell you...

Shit...F'real.

The last time I said never agin...

It probably had something to do with alcohol or gambling. Or a combination of both. my two favorite vices.

The cure for a hangover is...

Mango juice, for real. But mango juice cures everything so I don't know if that can count. I heard a red bull and a candy bar does you good too.

Mama always said...

I was hard-headed.

Happiness is...

A hot day, a cold beer, and a good soundtrack playing off in the distance.

The key to success is...

Staying true to yourself through the highs and the lows. And just allowing everything else to fall where it does.

If you see me, you should...

Say whats up, stick around and shoot the breeze. Despite what the songs say, despite what you think or may have heard, I love meeting new folks.

My future projects/plans are...

On some top-secret shit.

Final words/shout outs...

My close friends and family. BMB, BA/ATC, Imperium, Thorough etc. You. Them. Everyone and anyone. The whole world. Check out the blog if you don't already.
