BIOGRAPHY KEEYA

Since she was a child, Keeya grows up in mixed cultural and musical vibes: "My mom was addicted to music.At home we would listen to soul, funk, r'nb, hip hop, rock, pop, and even arabian music" and she's a fan of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Prince,Michael Jackson, Salt'n Peppa, En Vogue,but also Madonna, The Rolling Stones, The Doors...
Keeya quickly understands that what she felt when she was singing would become the goal of her life: "Every time I had the opportunity to grab the mic, I would jump on stage and do my thing...People named me the jukebox lol." Year after year, her tastes confirmed that black music would be what she'd be living for.
She starts to write, and tend to be as solid as possible.She is skilled, she dances too: "Any art is related to another one, arts are complementary, dancing and singing as well." For the most her lyrics are in english, cause even though she lives in Paris, american music is the one to touch her and keep her aware since always.

When she was a teenager, she found out what gospel was, then used it to develop her notions of harmony and the way she listens to the others.She's been part of soul/gospel choirs, performing on stage in Paris (Divan du monde, Elysée montmartre, Opus café...). One day, she quit on her medical highschool to completely dedicate herself to music.To pay her bills, she also works as a model. Beside that, she had gigs every week where she could improve her skills, live with "real" musicians, in a soul/r'nb/jazz repertory.

When you ask her what her influences are, she answers Lauryn Hill, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Betty Davis, Beyonce, Kelis, Alicia Keys, India Arie, Mary J Blige and producers like Neptunes, Timbaland, Kanye West...
Right now,this young lady, strong by her experience, with a very explicit vibration, is staying open minded and diversified, and she wants to rock your world: "Musical sensitivity has no limits..."
