Growing up in Chicago, Will Keeps was abused mentally, physically and emotionally. He sought connection because there was none at home, ending up in a gang and watching his best friend die from a bullet to the head at the age of 15. His escape to Des Moines opened the door to make a change and a difference. Today, Will Keeps empowers others – especially at-risk kids. Come hear Will speak of his journey and how his music is a witness for kids and adults alike.
