Keke Wyatt

Indianapolis-native Keke Wyatt released her debut album, Soul Sista on MCA Records, scoring a platinum album and a second hit duet with Avant titled “Nothing in This World,” which went to No. 1 on Billboard’s “R&B Singles” chart. Worldwide sales helped Keke create fan bases in Europe, Japan and Korea. Keke later walked away from MCA, leaving two completed CDs in the can.

Though she continued performing, Keke didn’t release her second CD, Who Knew, until 2010, followed by Unbelievable in 2011. The latter included “Saturday Love,” a duet with American Idol-winner Ruben Studdard that was a remake of the Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal hit. Keke scored a third smash with Avant in 2013 titled “You & I.” An instant classic, it hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Urban Adult chart and remained for seven consecutive weeks.
