Native folk and blues rocker Keith Secola is an accomplished artist: award-winning musician, master guitarist and native flute player; singer, songwriter, composer and producer. His music is familiar to thousands of fans across North America and Europe, where he's been playing his brand of progressive music in concerts to a cult following for many years. Keith's famous song, "NDN Kars", is considered the contemporary Native American anthem and is the most requested song on Native radio in the US and Canada. Keith Secola is Anishinabe (Ojibwa) originally from the Mesabi Iron Range country of northern Minnesota, now residing in Arizona. He's a member of the Anishinabe Nation of northern Minnesota and southern Ontario, Canada.

Secola knows how important language is to preserving one’s culture, so when members of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa discussed the idea of doing an Ojibwe language CD with him, he enthusiastically agreed to provide whatever assistance was needed. With Secola's help as consultant and producer, the first language CD titled "Anishinabemoin by Karen Drift with Keith Secola" was released under the newly created Bois Fort Band of Chippewa Music & Akina Records label. The CD won the 2007 Best Linguistic Recording Nammy (Native American Music Awards).
