Keedz is a musical project of a group of young French singers who release songs as a choir accompanied by electro-disco-dance influences. In 2008, Keedz released a studio album entitled Stand on the Word containing 11 tracks on Elias Music / Mercury Records / Universal Music. It was produced by Julien Jabre, Jimmy Mikaoui and Laurent Tordjman with David Eugène Joubert and Phyliss McKoy Joubert, with the latter having written 7 of the 11 tracks. The vocals were by formation named The Children of God.

Keedz claim to fame was the big commercial success of the title track " Stand on the Word" from the album. The single remixed by MiMa made up of Michael Tordjman and Maxime Desprez was a remake of a Joubert Singers song. Many drew similarities between it and the musical project Justice, particularly their single " D.A.N.C.E.", but this was refuted later, saying Keedz was an independent project on its own. ^{[1] [2]} The Keedz release was accompanied by a music video which became equally popular. ^[3] The single has been in the SNEP French Singles Chart since October 2011 totalling 28 weeks until end of July 2012 and reaching its peak position at #12 on chart dated 23 June 2012. ^[4]

Keedz' version of "Stand on the Word" was used as a short introduction to Le Grand Journal broadcast on Canal+ for the week 29 September to 3 October 2008. Le Grand Journal picks weekly one particular song (called "coming next") as a jingle to its introduction and changes it on a weekly basis. ^[5] The choices prove usually to be future hits. The Keedz version of the song was also used in 2008 in an episode of the Australian television series Underbelly.
