Keyshia Cole - superstar

Keyshia Cole (born October 15, 1981) is a Grammy-nominated American R&B singer-songwriter, and record producer known for her soulful voice. Cole cites singers Mary J. Blige and Brandy as her biggest influences and inspirations.

When she was two years old, Yvonne Cole adopted her because her birth mother - Frankie Lons- was addicted to drugs and was unable to take care of her.


She released her platinum selling debut album The Way It Is in June 2005, and her sophomore platinum album Just Like You in September 2007. Keyshia's third studio album, A Different Me was released on December 16, 2008. The lead single "Playa Cardz Right" features rapper 2Pac and was officially released on October 8, 2008.
