Casey Thai Luong (born November 4, 1994), known professionally as Keshi, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer. He debuted in 2017 with the single "Over U", and has since gained recognition for his lo-fi and R&B works with emotional lyricism. The following year, he released his first extended play The Reaper. Keshi's debut album Gabriel was released in 2022, and his sophomore album Requiem was released in 2024. Both albums reached the top-thirty on the US Billboard 200. Three of his singles have been certified gold in Australia and Canada. He has embarked on multiple global headlining tours in support of his music.

Casey Thai Luong was born in Houston, Texas to parents of Vietnamese American descent and grew up in Sugar Land. His parents worked as computer programmers. Despite living in an ethnically diverse community with a large Asian American population, he often felt out of place and disconnected from his heritage while growing up.

He was inspired to learn the guitar because of Drake Bell's character on Drake & Josh. He taught himself the instrument using his grandfather's classical guitar and Vietnamese music book.

He graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin. He then worked as an oncology nurse at the Texas Medical Center for two years.

The stage name "Keshi" is the childhood nickname his fiancée's parents gave him. He and his fiancée have known each other since fifth grade.
