Kei

As the middle child in her family constellation, Kei grew up with a strong parental attitude, assuming the care-taking role for her younger siblings and the household at large. Growing up in Sarasota, Florida in the 60’s, both of her parents worked to ensure that the financial basics were provided for she and her sister and her two brothers. Due to a hugely strong work ethic, and the foresight of her mother who insisted on dance and music instruction, the creative arts became the pillars of Kei’s existence. These, along with the particles of her creative spirit, and the complexities of she and her siblings’ individuality, are something that Kei is very proud of. Of the four original children, only one marriage produced a single blessing, the only grandchild, the beautiful Allison who would barely reach her 26th birthday. Founding “The Friends of Allison”, Kei wishes to bring Allison’s message of caring, acceptance, self-love, and nurturing the unique and the diverse, through her annual remembrance concerts. Kei directs your attention to the said-named Facebook page, The Friends of Allison, where visual and thoughtful posts are meant to beacon the foundering spirit. The website, www.thefriendsofallison.com, gratefully accepts donations, which are managed by The Church of the Redeemer, and focuses on providing aid to families and individuals suffering loss. Through the years, Kei has traded in her many jobs in human services, to work in the arts. She is a sacred singer for houses of worship, and the occasional pick-up gig, being herself a vocalist of diverse styles.
