Biography

Matthew J. Keefe is an author, spoken word recording artist, and photographer who was born and raised in Rhode Island. He was a wild and imaginative child and would always find an output for his imagination in the forms of drawing and creating.

At age 15, he was inspired by the novel ‘On the Road’ by Jack Kerouac, given to him by his father. He instantly felt a connection to the book and decided from then that his goal was to become a published author. He accomplished that goal in 2016 when he published his first book of poems ‘Awake in Dreams’ and in 2018 he followed it up with a sequel titled ‘Awake in Dreams: Reprise’. Also, in 2018 the poet delved into the spoken word scene releasing his first spoken word poem ‘Heart’s Mind’. In 2020 he released his third book ‘therapeutic.’ and his debut spoken word poetry EP ‘Therapeutic: The Tape’.

Recently the artist has been getting more involved in the visual arts in the forms of photography and creating visualizer videos for his spoken word pieces.

The only thing Matthew J. Keefe hopes for with his art is that it can “enlighten the world and make it a better place.”
