Keyote (born Steven Jones) is a DC native who grew up on ‘Chocolate City’s’ own brand of soul, funk, rock, and go-go. Hip hop’s original fusion of style and improvisation, with meaningful lyrical content, were also elements that also captured Keyote’s attention as an artist and later as a DJ.

After graduating from college he began interning as a DJ at WPGC (95.5 FM) and later worked with Common, Redman, and DJ Premier.
