Keisha Jackson

Keisha Jackson is an American R&B singer, and is the daughter of R&B & soul singer-songwriter Millie Jackson.

Having grown up in a family rich with music history, Keisha’s childhood was immersed in music. People like the Isley Brothers and the 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 two and a half years before moving to Atlanta, Georgia, where she tried to pursue a music career. She formed a girl group with her friend called Obsession and played the clubs around Atlanta.

Keisha then got an opportunity to record an album, 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 featured the single “Mature Love.” The track failed to make a big impression and peaked at #80 on the R&B charts.

Keisha then began working with LaFace Records as a background vocalist on tracks with Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. She became involved with a Warner Bros. Records plan to form a group called Black Coffy and was signed to the project. However, the group was dropped before ever releasing any recordings. Today,^[when?] Keisha continues to record and perform, and has started her own agency titled One Voice Entertainment. She performs often as a backup singer with Erykah Badu's band and has provided background vocals for Joss Stone, Angie Stone, OutKast and Faith Evans.
