Killah Keys

Deeply entrenched in the Melbourne reggae scene keyboardist, composer and producer Ricck ‘Killah Keys’ Barbarulo is prolific. His style is desired home and abroad enjoying collaborations with Caribbean, African and South American artists on over one hundred recordings.

Living in Australia for the past thirteen years his fluency in a range of genres has been key to his rich catalogue of original music. An impressive list of concerts spanning the Oceanic and American Continents also includes supporting the likes of Jamaican Reggae legends Steele Pulse, Third World and The Wailers.

Recently Killah has gravitated towards solo production in the form of a studio length album in collaboration with many of the international artists he has worked with. He also continues to produce and compose along-side fellow Brasilian artist and musical brother Ellie ‘JahWise’ Ossais, being an instrumental part in helping him secure Victoria Music’s prestigious Best Reggae and Dancehall Act.

Make sure to look out for Killah’s ever expanding pool of collaborations in the studio and on stage. Whether he’s on melodica duty for Melbourne’s heaviest sound-systems or remotely writing with fellow musicians, he’s sure to continue pushing the boundaries in the Australian and international scene.
