Tasman Keith is an Australian rapper and singer-songwriter.
At age seven Tasman and his family moved from Bowraville to Sydney for his father's music. His dad was a rapper called Wire MC. Tasman says he was on stage at eight years old at festivals. At age 14 his family decided to move back to Bowraville.
In 2018 his debut EP, Mission Famous which was recorded at Skinnyfish Music's Studio G and produced by Mangohig and Nooky. The EP made Triple J's Al Newstead's list of Best New Music for the week of 29 October 2018, calling the title track "the highlight". In 2018, Keith also commenced studies in music and sound design at the University of Technology Sydney.
In 2019 he collaborated with Stevie Jean and recorded the EP Evenings. In November he released "Billy Bad Again", a song he says came from a "semi-frustrating studio session" with my producers, Kapital J & James Mangohig saying "I was too focused on forcing out as many songs as I could. James had me step outside for a minute, when I came back in Kapital J had this beat that he said was perfect for the vibe we were in. It was this aggressive yet braggadocious instrumental that reminded me to have fun with it and talk my shit. 'Billy Bad Again' is the side of me that is confident and unapologetic, it's about being that guy wherever you are and for me it's my turn to show that through my music, whilst throwing in two Adam Sandler movie references." At the J Awards of 2020, the video won Australian Video of the year.
In December 2020, he released the EP To Whom It May Concern.
