Keith Caldwell holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Theatre and a Masters of Fine Arts in Acting. Keith has enjoyed a
successful and extensive professional theatrical career beginning in New York's Trixie True, Teen Detective in 1980. Keith

acting at the University level, has been a model, and has proven his talent as a songwriter and recording artist.
