He has remained dedicated to soulful and deep house music over the years and has released numerous club hits such as "The Rhythm Of Life," "Can't Take It" (Capitol Records), "Believe," and "Far Behind," with Marshall Jefferson. His music has earned him a strong fan base across the globe, particularly in regions like the Middle East, Europe, and South Africa. He is a legendary figure in the House music scene and one only a few male artist of the genre to be signed to a major label (Capitol/EMI). He has sold over 4 million units of his music, including 3 million for "Break 4 Love" alone. The original version of "Break 4 Love," which he recorded as part of the group Raze, was featured in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which has sold over 50 million copies. Keith has collaborated with various producers (Victor Simonelli, Scott Wozniak, Ralf Gum) and artists from different regions to create underground hits such as "Living On The Frontline," "Africa In Your Veins," "Borders Don't Matter," and "Truly," which was a number one hit in Bulgaria with Maria Ilieva. He has also had number 1 hits in the Middle East such a "Show Them Love" and "Beirut Is On Fire" a bona fide anthem in Lebanon. Thompson hosted their NRJ Concerts several years which featured Flo-Rida, Bashie, Macklemore, Alexandra Stan, and more. In 2019, Keith collaborated with Rocco Rodamaal on the updated version of "Break 4 Love," which was remixed by renowned artists such as Louie Vega, Karisma, AtJazz, and Franck Roger, including a second remix pack in 2020. Keith began his career in the music industry in 1983 as a radio announcer/DJ in New York on WNWK 105.9 FM. He released his first song, "Everywhere I Go," in the reggae genre on his own Flat Records label, which garnered regional support on radio and launched his career beyond DJing. However, he was captivated by the emergence of house music in 1985, and the rest is now House music history.
