Who is Keo Nozari?

Keo Nozari is an American pop singer-songwriter / producer and well-established New York City DJ.

Years of live performances in the early 2000s—including solo shows in New York City at former CBGBs and the Virgin Megastore—culminated in Nozari releasing his debut album Late Nite VIP on October 18, 2005. The album of his original material received both critical acclaim and commercial success. Billboard Magazine compared Nozari’s singing style to "a young George Michael", and cited Late Nite VIP’s “electro-funk-fueled pop sound” as being on par with the work of writer-producer Stuart Price and Janet Jackson’s longtime collaborators, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from his hometown of Minneapolis. Keo co-produced the album with Ellis Miah, who's production credits include Miley Cyrus with some of the original tracks mixed by Jody den Broeder.

The first single off Late Nite VIP, "Close Enough" was licensed to Armin Van Buuren's Armada Music / Coldharbour Recordings.

Second single "Question of Monogamy" featured a racy video—which included the openly-gay Nozari in a steamy shower with two other men—causing a controversy at MTV's LOGO channel. But it went on to be a Number One video on the channel and named the network's "Ultimate Sexiest Video."
