KEYAN has made a name for himself in the guitar community through his YouTube, Instagram and TikTok videos, amassing over 150 thousand social media followers, collecting over 50 million views and collaborating on content with notable acts including Spiritbox, Northlane, Plini, Fit For A King, Alpha Wolf and so many more.
His new single ‘Arrest‘, collaborating with Marcus Vik from Invent Animate, releases off the back of a milestone moment for KEYAN, following his recent appearances across Australia with Monolith Festival, where he not only hosted his own guitar workshop, but facilitated a workshop for prog legends, Periphery, who KEYAN cites as major influences to his journey.
After catching him at Monolith Festival, Lucas sat down with Adelaide guitarist Keyan Houshmand to discuss Keyan’s brand new track Arrest, featuring Marcus Vik from Invent Animate.
