Keith Jolie is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He was born in Brantford, Ontario and raised in St. George, Ontario.

After high school, Jolie attended the University of Windsor where he attained a degree in English literature and religious studies. While studying in Windsor, Jolie would take in the music that spilled across the border from Detroit, and Windsor's indie music scene that spawned bands like The Stickmen, who would later change their name to The Tea Party and Big Sugar. Over time this musical influence as well as the lyrical influences of the Romantic period writers he began to focus on started to crystalize into Jolie's songwriting.

In 2005, Jolie recruited Minas Hatzigiannatzoglou (drummer) and Steve Cave (bassist) to form a new band called Endsville. In 2006, Paul Butters (guitar) and Matt Bartram (keyboard) were added to the lineup In 2007, Steve Cave left the lineup to be replaced by Colin "Eddylites"
