Our Story
UK Meets Long Island
We met singing on a cruise ship. We got married, started a family, and built The Z Keys to keep doing what we love.
Tino & Emily
Before The Z Keys
We met singing on cruise ships, playing rock nights in costume and covering half the world between shows.
Europe, Dubai, and India before we were twenty-five.
The band we run now was built by two people who learned it on the road, not in a boardroom.
Two Lead Singers, One Family
Emily is a powerhouse belter trained at AMDA in New York. Tino trained at Laine Theatre Arts in England. They met as lead vocalists on a cruise ship, singing across Europe, Dubai, and India, and a proposal in Paris brought it all home to Long Island.
The Z Keys is what happened next, built so the two of them could keep doing what they love, backed by musicians who can crush a solo and light up a dance floor.

Every Booking Is Personal
There is no booking agency between you and us. Tino and Emily answer every inquiry, run every planning call, and stand on every stage. The do-not-play list is sacred, the must-play list is a promise, and the lineup is scaled to your room, not to a package sheet.
We proudly work with all couples and communities. Everyone deserves great music.

The Musicians Beside Us
Sax, horns, strings, keys, guitar, bass, drums, and featured vocalists, drawn from the same working New York musicians you hear in the city's best rooms. The roster scales from one performer to fifteen, and every configuration is the same roster, scaled.
The same players are on your date. Start Planning
