Keen sisters Raye, Abby, and Lauren’s interest in music rose due to her father, who had a passion for singing
When the head of the family member is into singing, there is a chance their children will grow up to have the same passion.
Similalry, in the Keen family, Raye’s father, Paul Keen, was passionate about singing and used to play piano all the time, which inspired Raye to learn instruments.
In the F-Word Interview, Rachel Agatha Keen, aka Raye, shares how her father, Paul, moved to London to pursue a music career. She said, “My Dad plays piano and used to write music. He actually moved down to London when he was younger to be in a band, and it didn’t work out.”
Further, after her father could not achieve much success in the music industry, he decided to pass it on to their daughter. Raye said, “He told me from 1 year old, he would play the piano in front of me, and I would push his hands out of the way and try and play. I fell in love. I play piano; I played cello, flute, guitar, and bass.”
Further, Raye also shares that her father used to take them to church often, where she used to sing the Gospel along with her sister Abby.
At the family function, the whole family would sit together, and the keen sister would play the piano and sing songs.
By signing and performing in the church often, they improved their singing skills, which helped them become great singers; as Raye said, “The best singers of all time come from the church.”
Now, all three Keen sisters are rising in the music industry, where their father, Paul, manages their performance, promoting songs as a manager.
