About Kiefer
A soulful jazz keyboardist and producer, Kiefer Shackelford (aka Kiefer) has earned praise for his cross-genre, hip-hop-influenced aesthetic. Based in Los Angeles, he emerged in 2017 with his independent debut, Kickinit Alone. The album found him embracing a hip-hop and R&B vibe that eschewed samples in favor of nuanced jazz harmonies and improvisation. His sophomore effort, Happysad, appeared in 2018 and was followed by the seven-track Superbloom EP in 2019. Between Days arrived in 2021. Kiefer returned to solo piano and individual beatmaking on 2023's It's Ok, B U. In 2024 he returned with Something for Real with drummer Luke Titus and bassist Pera Krstajic. In July 2026, with drummer Nate Smith, producer/multi-instrumentalist CARTOOONS, and DJ Kenny Beats, he issued FATHERS for Blue Note. Kiefer followed in September with his own label debut titled Memory Bomb featuring many collaborators.
