Keagan Smith
(Born April 23rd 1997) is an American musician, luthier, and guitarist for the band Brace Yourself.
Keagan is primarily known for his skills in luthiery, but has played in various punk rock, metalcore, heavy metal, and melodic death metal bands in Southern Arizona and North Carolina. With influences from artists ranging from the likes of Trivium, to Lady Gaga, to Andy McKee, there's always something musically interesting brewing.
With Brace Yourself as Keagan's primary musical focus, his goal is to push the boundaries of the music that's being produced to have a little something for everyone, while making music that's enjoyable to both perform and listen to.
"Music has always been a large part of my life in some way or another. I can't remember a time where I felt whole heartedly that there wasn't something telling me 'this is what you need to be doing.' Playing my guitar after a long day, even if it's just to noodle about, is really one of the only things that makes me feel at peace." -Keagan
