Keith S. Mitchell, Sr.
Producer/C.E.O. Keith S. Mitchell, Sr., aka 10th Power, was born in West Hempstead, NY, and is the 3rd youngest of four brothers. Keith's musical career began when his oldest brother, Michael, taught him how to DJ at the age of 13. Using their home stereo equipment, he and his brother would scratch and mix their family's records, and after entertaining his family members at reunions and barbecues his DJ career began! Though he was shy, Keith's crazy skills on the turntables gained attention, not only from the ladies, but from his peers who called on him to enter DJ battles and host break dancing parties.
In 1984, Keith joined the US Army but continued to dee jay in his spare time. He has performed in North & South Carolina, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, New York and parts of Europe, just to name a few. From dee jaying, Keith transitioned into music production and management forming the company Lowa Level Entertainment. |
As the business blossomed, Keith signed Washington D.C. Rap Artist Porche 9-11 and Maryland songstress Lea Adams. Both artists' CD's were released under the DK Records label, which was owned by Keith. Porche 9-11's "My Life...This Me" was a personal hip-hop tribute, and Adams' "Introducing...Lea Adams" spoke of love, life and relationships. Eventually Keith parted ways with these artists and in a move aimed at re-positioning his operations, he changed his company name to M3 Music Group. During this progression, M3 Music Group signed Maryland rapper D.U.I. and released a four song ep "Listen Without Prejudice" in 2007. Thereafter, DUI released a full length CD "A Season in Hell," also in 2007, followed by "This One's For You" in 2009. Also, Maryland rapper Tony Montgomery completed an unreleased CD "Mid-Atlantic Moses" in 2009. All produced, mixed and mastered by Keith.
In 2015, in his role as C.E.O. of M3, Keith signed York, PA, hip hop emcee Rare Form (aka Kahlil Thompson), which eventually lead to the birth of Lost Cause. Lost Cause, a hip hop collective created by Keith, consisted of Rare Form, the hip hop emcee and DJ 10th Power (Keith S. Mitchell, Sr.), the group's producer. With moderate local success, including winning a local hip hop award (The Ray Crenshaw Neighborhood Award) the group performed at various venues throughout York, PA. In March 2016, Lost Cause released its first studio album "Paradise Depression," followed by its second released album "The Essence" in April 2017. With its growing popularity, this award winning group launched several videos, was featured in The Germantown Pulse, FlipsidePA, and WGAL News Center 8. After securing a distribution deal through OAG Management, Lost Cause marketed its music on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify. Although the group disbanded in June of 2017, it continues to release music today.
Keith continues to build his catalog of music and networking. It is through this networking that Keith was contacted by Dr. Robert Robinson & Dr. Karla Robinson to create music for the opening of their internet talk radio show "Urban Housecall." Keith's musical creativity was also recognized by Wild Mind Entertainment, another internet based company. After some negotiating, Keith was hired by Wild Mind to serve as its Director of Music. Keith's first assignment was to create theme music for Wild Mind's internet series "Razor Game." Though the series aired with positive reviews, and a ton of followers, as did other shows under the Wild Mind umbrella, the company's executives eventually parted ways and Wild Mind Entertainment faded to black. With his undeniable talent, doors continue to open for Keith. His most recent collaboration is with the York Revolution Baseball Team serving as one of its favorite vendors for DJ services for its pre-game festivities, family festivals, weddings, receptions, and more!
With studios in Germantown, MD (Level One Studios) and York, PA (Princess Studios), Keith remains busy creating music, discovering local talent, and serving up DJ services throughout PA, MD, DC & VA.
