Eunice Keitan's soulful voice makes a big impression on listeners. Both her international upbringing and her eclectic music background show in this Canadian singer-songwriter's work which mixes R&B/Acoustic Soul and World Folk influences.

Eunice is currently working on an EP that mixes folk music from Southeast Asia (where she grew up) with neo-soul. It's a project to hopefully preserve artistic traditions that are quickly disappearing in Southeast Asian villages in favor of more western culture/music. The project reimagines traditional soundscapes in a modern way and in a genre (Neo-soul) that would usually be an unlikely choice. The first single from the EP is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you get your music.
