HUMAN.

Human. 

What defines a person? Is it their music, their art, their beliefs, or the ink that tells their story? For Jason Grady Keller, the answer is all of the above—woven together into a life that is nothing short of remarkable.

A Baton Rouge native, Jason is a musician, a creator, and a storyteller whose presence commands attention. He formed the band Rhinoceros, where he and his bandmates don rhinoceros masks, embodying both the power and mystery of their sound. His body, adorned with tattoos, serves as a living storyboard—one of the most striking being the word ‘human.’ It’s a statement, a declaration against the labels that divide us. To him, race, politics, and ideologies often create unnecessary barriers. Instead, he believes we should define ourselves by the forces that unite us.

Jason’s journey has led him to the Grammys, both for his music and his mastery in hairstyling. Inspired by his uncle, a rockstar hairstylist in his own right, Jason has owned and operated EVOLVE Studio for over 13 years. It’s not just a salon—it’s a creative hub where art, music, and deep conversation thrive. Walk through its doors, and you may find yourself discussing the marketing genius of Purple Cow, the philosophy behind cold plunges, or the intersections of religion and education—all while Jason takes tequila shots with the local artists whose work lines the walls.

But beyond the music and the artistry, there’s a philosophy guiding him. Since the age of 18, he has embraced Daoism and Eastern teachings, shaping his worldview and approach to life. He doesn’t just live—he evolves, constantly redefining what it means to lead a ‘remarkable’ existence.

His greatest inspiration? His mother. An artist, an animal lover, and his biggest supporter, she filled his world with creativity and compassion. Her imprint on his life remains as deep as the phrase they share—‘to the moon and back.’

Jason Grady Keller is not just a musician or a stylist. He is an experience, a force, a piece of living art. His style, his presence, his magic—it all deserves to be captured, whether in music, in ink, or in a portrait that tells his story.

I encourage you to see for yourself. Experience his world. And if you want a piece of that magic, an original portrait or print of Human is the perfect way to bring his story into your own space.

Visit EVOLVE Studio. Witness the art. Own the magic.
