About Me

My name is Keenan Ketzner and I am a multidisciplinary artist in Whatcom County. I went to Fairhaven College where I specialized in audio production, whether that be composing, mixing, mastering, or engineering. I've worked with all kinds of musicians and filmmakers, and I enjoy getting my hands dirty with really out there projects. Restoring damaged or unusual recordings has been a particularly long time passion, as well as live recording.

I also have a background in visual art, studying drawing and photo manipulation from a young age. You can find poster designs that I've done for local and touring artists below, along with some of my personal creative visual projects. And if that wasn't enough, I also write articles: anything from interviews, to show reviews, to editorial pieces.

The name Keenwa comes from my first name plus where I have resided most of my life. To me it evokes a fresh and playful tone that I try to bring to my artistry.
