Matanda Keyes, a multimedia artist who grew up in Oakland, helped design jewelry pieces for the worldwide tour as part of a project that builds on his Bay Area upbringing
Madonna will stop in San Francisco for back-to-back shows at Chase Center this week, but her Celebration Tour has held close ties to the Bay Area ever since it launched last October.
Some of his designs used a technique that involves wrapping a wire around bigger parts of a ring's object, which forms a fence-like structure. From there, Keyes hit the head with a torch so that the piece melts away and more natural shapes arise. “It’s kind of like a puzzle that you have to decode and everyone is working on multiples of things at once,” he added.

Time spent in the Oakland Unified School District, as well as the Oaktown Jazz Workshop and the Oakland Symphony’s Eastside All-Star Jazz Ensemble, allowed Keyes to further study music. As a high-school student, Keyes was a percussionist in the SFJAZZ Center’s High School All-Stars Big Band and Combo between 2015 and 2017.
Keyes began making jewelry four years ago and now operates out of a basement studio in a Brooklyn brownstone. His endeavor with Madonna’s tour launched his newest multimedia project, “Parsody,” a word Keyes made up to reflect the relationship between musical sounds and physical objects.
