Early life and education

edit

Wyatt was born March 10, 1980 or 1982, in Indianapolis, to Lorna Wyatt, a vocalist and Keever Wyatt II, an organist and also a vocalist. Ke'Tara "Keke" Wyatt was raised in a musical family rooted in gospel music.[1][9] She has four brothers.[1] Despite her religious background, Wyatt was also exposed to Contemporary R&B and secular music,[10] and she would perform with her vocals in genres as diverse as gospel, pop and opera.[10] Wyatt began singing at the age of 2, experiencing her first live show by the age of 5.[10][11] While of mixed white and black heritage, Wyatt and her four brothers, who were raised in a predominantly African-American household and community setting,[1][11][12] identify as African-American.[1] Wyatt grew up in Indianapolis, but also spent time in both Kentucky and Texas. She attended high school in Indianapolis, where she was a member of her high school's varsity wrestling team.[13][14] As she grew, her musical tastes were influenced by the likes of R&B greats like Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway and Ella Fitzgerald.[10] Inspired by many preceding musical greats, Wyatt found herself performing with various girl groups as a teen.[3] She was often recognized for a maturity exceeding her teenage years.[1]

Career

edit

1992–1999: Early singing and songwriting

edit

Wyatt's professional career began at the age of ten, when she began recording a song, called "What If", which would be included on a gospel compilation album for Indianapolis-based R.H. Duncan. With growing buzz surrounding "the little girl who could sing", news of Wyatt's talent led her to encounter with these artists from the likes of Bill Woodson, Nathan Alexander, Billy Badd, Chris Kelly, and multi-platinum producer, composer Jorge Corante and Emmanuel Officer.[3] During the years of adolescence, Wyatt became as a student of a school by the Chicago-based producer and songwriter Steve "Stone" Huff.[3] Huff eventually produced and shopped a few of Wyatt's demos in hopes of landing her a record deal.[3][9] During her mid-teens, she performed demo songs for various gospel labels, earning around $1,500 per recording. During that time, Keke extended her skills by also writing music as a teenager, and while she was writing some music, Keke would experience her first coldly dealt disappointment as a music industry professional. She wrote the majority of the lyrics for a hit song but received no credit for her work.[1]

2000–2002: First hit single, Breakthrough and debut album Soul Sista

edit

At age 15, Wyatt recorded "My First Love" with Avant which was released two years later, eventually becoming a single for his album entitled My Thoughts. Wyatt gained much notoriety for the remake of the 1980s ballad by Rene & Angela. Its success, remaining in the top 10 for several weeks, resulted in a solo album contract with MCA Records. With the help of the late MCA Records executive Louil Silas, her friend and A&R Randy Jackson, whom she met at age twelve,[11] and former Boyz II Men manager Quadri El Amin, Wyatt recorded her first album within two weeks time.[8]

Her first single, "Used to Love", helped to create buzz but failed to achieve radio play,[15] though it did chart at No. 65 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.[16] The follow-up single "Nothing in This World", her second duet with Avant, charted higher on a number of Billboard charts, including No. 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and No. 35 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart.[16]

Soul Sista, her solo debut in 2001, a platinum album,[17][18] was released on November 13, 2001.[19] It reached number 33 on the Billboard 200.[20] Selling more than one million copies, Wyatt's fanbase broadened to audiences in Japan, South Korea and Europe.[1][8] On December 11, 2001, Wyatt was interviewed. During that interview, Wyatt said that she was a founding member of an early incarnation of Destiny's Child, called "The Dolls" and that she was later replaced by Beyoncé.[21] In 2002, her rendition of "Nothing in This World" led to a nomination for Best New R&B/Soul/Rap Artist at the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.[4]

By 2004, Wyatt had departed from MCA Records. She signed a contract, negotiated by her ex-husband/road manager Rahmat Morton, with Cash Money Records/Universal Motown Records, under the management of Cassandra Ware.[11] Her second album Emotional Rollercoaster was originally set for release on May 31, 2005, but was postponed for release in early 2006. The set's first single, "Put Your Hands on Me", became the most added urban track to radio in April 2005. However, the single failed to chart or gain radio airplay, and her album was, subsequently, shelved.[citation needed] Beyond the first single, other songs slated to appear on her second album included "Look at What You Made Me Do", "Insecurity" written by Bryan Michael Cox, "My Man", "Six Questions" featuring Avant, "Cheaters", "Who Knows" written by Tank, "Peace on Earth", a remake of a Rachelle Ferrell single, and the title track "Emotional Rollercoaster" featuring Ginuwine. In 2006, Wyatt was released from her contract with Cash Money Records, citing conflict with management as the reason for her departure.[11]

In 2007 Wyatt, reunited with her former manager Quadri El Amin on the TVT Records label. Work on her third solo album Ghetto Rose was completed in 2007. The title track, written by veteran songwriter Franne Golde along with Kasey Livingston and Curt Schneider, was released to urban radio outlets in the fall of that year. The album was originally set for release on October 23, 2007, but was postponed for release in early 2008. Then, in February 2008, the record label filed for bankruptcy and, for the second time in her solo career, Wyatt's album was shelved.[22]

Proceeds of the album went towards benefiting organizations committed to improving the lives of women.[28] She performed at the 2012 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans along with the other cast-members of R&B Divas, and according to Erika Ramirez of Billboard in a ranking of the top ten performances at the festival, "Keke Wyatt's cover of Houston's 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' left the audience in awe even after the performance."[6] After the initial season of R&B Divas, Wyatt appeared in the two following seasons as well, when the show was renamed to R&B Divas: Atlanta.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Many sources claim her birth year to be 1982. However an Indianapolis Star article from February 2001 lists her age as 21. This article also mentions that she was 12 in August 1992. This implies a 1980 birth year.[2]
