Overview

I am the pianist-singer you've been looking for. I perform all genres, and I sing requests!!
My voice is versatile, I can sing anything from smooth Chet Baker jazz vocals to high-intensity Teddy Swims soul vocals. Depends on the event... that's up to you!

Look through my repertoire list for an easy way to determine your show.

I love performing on a grand piano or acoustic piano, if recently tuned. I also have a portable setup (keys/mic/PA system) that is very capable up to a medium-large event.

You are welcome to use my PA system for your event if needed.

An unforgettable and elegant jazz performance!

It was truly an unforgettable experience. Kent really created an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere from the very first note, captivating everyone. What stood out the most was how he adapted the repertoire to match the mood of the event, making everything feel even more special and personalized. It was a complete artistic experience, elegant and immersive... And he played my requests!
Certainly will hire him for upcoming events.

About

Pleasure to introduce myself. My name is Kent Rousseau, also known as "Kent on the Keys."

I am a jazz pianist and singer with a B.A. in Jazz Studies from the University of North Texas College of Music, class of 2020. I have spent over a decade performing on stage and in the studio, including four years working as cruise ship musician. That experience shaped my ability to read a room, take requests, and deliver a polished, guest-focused performance.

My repertoire includes over 1000 songs, specializing in jazz, folk/songwriter, R&B/soul, and 60s-80s classics. I am known for my variety and flexibility, moving seamlessly between eras and moods while maintaining a cohesive, high-quality sound. Whether the setting calls for upbeat engagement or a refined atmosphere, I focus on musicality, responsiveness, and consistency.
