A night of live music with Strings! Experience Keia in a way you never have before, an intimate setting with some of your favorite songs. This is a night you don't want to miss! Keia was born in San Antonio, TX but grew up all over the world in a Military family. But it was the move to Memphis that helped her establish her sound and performance style. She has performed with some of the best talent Memphis has to offer, while also building relationships with notable national names like The Bar-Kays and David Porter of Stax Records.
In College, Keia made history by being crowned only the third Black Miss ASU (Arkansas State University). The same university that Miss America 1990 Debbye Turner attended, and was crowned the first Black Miss ASU. Keia went on to the Miss Arkansas Pageant, where she was crowned Miss Congeniality, a name that stuck with her for years to come. She graduated with a degree in Communications emphasis Radio/Television Broadcasting and a minor in Political Science. But the arts kept calling her name.
Years later, it was American Idol that served as the true catalyst for Keia to recognize who she was as an Artist and what she wanted to do with her career. The talent competition led her to Hollywood where “Miss Congeniality” wowed the judges for two seasons. Her audition performance of Celine Dion’s vocally rigorous “My Heart Will Go On” prompted guest judge and musical role model
Mary J. Blige to simply declare: “She can sing!” Keia later went on to compete on Season 4 of “The Voice” as well, but wasn’t chosen for a team. Her journey hasn’t been without its disappointments and de-railings. But she can’t stop singing.
