Keanu Ienco

(born August 26, 1997) is a Canadian/Native American guitar player and composer.

During his childhood, Keanu discovered his passion for music when his mother gifted him his first guitar for his eighth birthday. At thirteen he started playing professionally and by the age of sixteen had already performed live with numerous groups in British Columbia, as well as having radio airplay of his own originals. In 2019 he graduated from Vancouver Island University with a Bachelor’s degree in jazz studies. Over his career, Keanu has shared the stage with industry professionals such as Steve Vai, Delfeayo Marsalis, and Rufus Reid. 2020 saw the birth of Keanu's original instrumental project under his own name and he used his time during the pandemic to write and record his debut album. Keanu’s music in this project pulls from influences ranging from the traditional music of Native American people to guitar players such as Brian May, Plini, and Pat Metheny. His debut album Celestial Desire was released in March 2022 to critical acclaim and earned him a nomination for "Instrumental Artist of the Year'' at the 2022 Western Canadian Music Awards.
