Keith AKA Jerseyboy is not just a DJ, but a symbol of the longevity of the EDM music scene. With 25 years of experience behind the decks, Jerseyboy offers a unique and authentic DJing style using vinyl that focuses natural beat matching and longer interactions between two tracks.  Born in Morris County, New Jersey, his DJ career started while attending the University of Pittsburgh in 1999, where he came up with local talents Scuba Steve, Joey Bananas, DJ Darby, Roess Reddick, and Colin Pierce, among others, playing hundreds of house parties across the underground Pittsburgh rave scene.​
