It is with profound sadness that we confirm the passing of BryTavious “Tay Keith” Chambers.
BryTavious was a visionary producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cultural force whose work helped define the sound of a generation. From Memphis to the global stage, he shaped countless hit records and left a lasting mark on music and culture.
He was deeply committed to creating opportunities for others through his company, Drumatized, supporting emerging songwriters, producers, and artists.
A proud graduate and honorary professor of Middle Tennessee State University, BryTavious remained an active alumnus, mentor, and advocate for young creatives. He was also a passionate supporter of mental health awareness and cancer-related causes in honor of his late mother.
Above all, BryTavious was a beloved son, brother, uncle, family member, and friend. While the world knew him as Tay Keith, his family knew him as BryTavious—a source of love, strength, laughter, and guidance.
We take comfort in knowing that his legacy will live on through the music he created, the opportunities he provided, and the lives he touched.
We respectfully ask for privacy and continued prayers for his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Memorial arrangements will be shared at a later date.
