BC Native American/Canadian musician Keanu Ienco is pleased to announce the release of his new single and video 'I Still Shine' out today on all digital streaming platforms. Watch video here.
‘I Still Shine’ is the first single from Keanu's debut album Celestial Desire, which is set for release on March 18th. A thrilling ride from start to finish, the instrumental rock track feels exciting and inspirational with full emotion shining through.
‘"I Still Shine' is an instrumental guitar piece I composed about regaining self-confidence", says Keanu. "It’s really an anthem for remembering your strengths and lifting yourself up. To show this, I wrote the tune to be a high energy thrill ride right from the start with high gain melodic guitar lines and a grooving feel from my rhythm section."
Keanu found his passion for music when his mom bought him a guitar for his eighth birthday. At thirteen he started playing professionally and by the age of sixteen he'd already performed live with numerous groups in British Columbia, and had radio airplay of his own originals.
In 2019, he graduated from Vancouver Island University with a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies in guitar. During his time at VIU, he spent 4 years studying with Canadian jazz guitarist and composer Lee Ellefson. Keanu has also shared the stage with professional musicians such as Delfeayo Marsalis, Ari Hoenig, and Rufus Reid and met with industry professionals such as Brian May, Steve Vai, and Peter Frampton.
Keanu’s music pulls from many influences, ranging from the traditional music of North American Indigenous people to rock and jazz guitar players such as Brian May, Plini and Pat Metheny. Pulling from so many influences, Keanu creates unique instrumental rock dreamscapes that fill the listener with the deep emotions put into every note.
'I Still Shine' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit keanuienco.com.
