Keyanna Hutchinson (she/they/them) is a versatile guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer from Brooklyn, NY, whose multivalent influences can be traced to a rich Caribbean lineage, a love for popular and underground music, conservatory training, as well as a remarkable musical career supporting performers in the fields of R&B, jazz, and other experimental genres.
She has graced stages with notable artists such as H.E.R, Cynthia Erivio, Jazmine Sullivan, A.S.A.P Ferg, and many more.
Shortly after finishing her undergraduate at Berklee College of Music as a Presidential Scholar, she went on to become a recipient of the Next Jazz Legacy Award in 2022. As an awardee of the inaugural cohort, Keyanna received both creative and business mentorship from acclaimed artists Terri Lyne Carrington, Lizz Wright, Matthew Garrison, and Brandon Ross. In 2024, she became a Jazz Leaders Fellow, where she received support and led workshops at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. With the support from BKCM, she is currently gearing up for her debut album under the artist name “Key Hutch”, scheduled for release in 2026.

”Keyanna Hutchinson is one of the great emerging guitarists, composers, and performers of her generation. She demonstrates a willingness and openness to be exposed to new ways of musical composition that allow her to create in an expansive and authentic way.” – Brandon Ross, mentor
“Aside from it just being the coolest looking guitar I’ve seen, owning a .strandberg* guitar has been most pivotal in my experience as a working musician. Its weight and height make it very manageable to bring with me on airplanes —stowed away in the overhead compartment. I have a sense of comfort and control knowing that the instrument is protected along the journey. One of the ergonomic features that I most love is how the shape of the guitar supports my posture when I’m seated. This has been helpful for gigs where I’m sitting down and playing a lot of material as well as when I’m at home practicing.” - Keyanna Hutchinson
