Keisha Jackson was born in Brooklyn, New York and is the daughter of Millie Jackson. Having grown up in a family rich with music history, Keisha’s childhood was immersed in music. People like the Isleys and O’Jays would visit her house, and she worked as a background singer for her mom when she was fifteen.
Keisha Jackson went to college for 2 and a half years before moving to Atlanta where she tried to pursue a music career. She formed a girl group with her friend called Obsession and played the clubs around the city.
Keisha then got an opportunity to put out some albums, and in 1989, released her self-titled debut. The album scored a minor hit with its single, “Hot Little Love Affair” which reached #39 on the charts. In 1991, Keisha released a second effort, titled Keisha, which had the single “Mature Love.”
In the time after, Keisha began working with LaFace Records as a background vocalist. She worked on tracks with Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. She became involved with a Warner Brothers plan to make a group called Black Coffy and was signed to the project.
Today, Keisha continues to record and perform, and has started her own agency titled One Voice Entertainment.
