Joey Keys

Artist Website

Born in beautiful British Columbia, Joey Parente fell in love with the piano at age five, thanks to his Italian mamma who brought him to his very first lesson. Since then, he has spent over three decades performing live, captivating audiences with his dynamic presence, musical versatility, and genuine connection to the crowd.

A classically trained pianist with a wide-ranging repertoire, Joey moves effortlessly between Italian, Latin, pop, jazz, crooner, R&B, rock, and contemporary styles. His time as a featured performer with Carnival Cruise Lines earned him the nickname “Joey Keys,” a name that stuck with fans drawn to his energy and charisma at the piano bar.

Whether performing solo or with one of his hand-picked Legato Music ensembles, Joey delivers live shows that are engaging, expressive, and never predictable. Every performance is crafted to suit the moment — no pre-recorded tracks, just real musicians making real music, live and in the moment.

Joey’s passion for live music shines through in every show, creating experiences that are both entertaining and deeply memorable.
