Biography

Keiynan Lonsdale was raised in a storm of energy, out in Western Sydney's North St Mary's. Australian, Nigerian, Irish, born in 1991, and with 11 siblings, he made sense of his unique lens by embodying the language of art; first with music, then dance, & then acting. He had an extremely hard working single mother, plus an instinctive desire to tell unifying stories at a young age - this set the tone for an empowered dreamer to break beyond social & economic barriers, forging new realities. Not only has Keiynan made a global name for himself as an award winning entertainer across film, TV, fashion & music, he has become a figure for authentic representation, and has helped make a better life for the family that made him so strong & electric. 
 In 2020 Lonsdale released his debut album 'Rainbow Boy', catching the ears of Billboard, GQ, Rolling Stone, Vogue, Interview Mag, & gaining him the nomination for ‘Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist’ at the 2021 GLAAD Music Awards. His songwriting is effortless, his storytelling is captivating and purposeful, and his love for the many sides of creating is what sets him apart from the crowd - often producing, directing, & editing his own music videos. He also enjoys working directly with film makers to craft & portray important characters that help set the pace for new industry standards.
