On Todays Episode we Have Shekinah Keys; 23 years old, she was Oakland born, and Richmond raised.
Has been singing for as long as she can remember but has been a recording artist for 7 years now. Keys was writing poetry years before stepping into anybody’s studio and found a new love for music after recording her song “Luv U Mary” at Legacy Studio in a Richmond, CA. She has a new hit single called “Say Less” produced by Vidal Garcia who is also producing her first album; “Mona Lisa”. She has a video out to another one of her hits; “Pardon Me” and has recently dropped another video to her song “Lonely”. She writes ALL of her music and has also made the cover arts to her songs “Lonely”, “Help”, and “Crazy”. Heavily influenced by the early 80s and late 90s; artists like Erykah Badu, Etta James, Prince, and Musiq Soulchild are on Keys’ playlists in heavy rotation. Her music is directly effected by artists like Keyshia Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rexx Life Raj, J. Cole, Mozzy and Lexii Alijai. Keys says she is most inspired by her peers; being surrounded by fellow creatives in her field pushes her to bring us the music we have today. You can hear the pain, hurt, and experience in her words even at the tender age of 23. We’re looking forward to seeing what’s in store for the rising star; Shekinah Keys.
