Biography
Keyshia Cole emerged from Oakland as one of the defining R&B voices of the mid-2000s, known for her emotionally direct vocal delivery and autobiographical songwriting that critics labeled the mark of the "Princess of Hip-Hop Soul". Born October 15, 1981, in the US, she pursued music professionally in the early 2000s after relocating to Los Angeles, where she worked with Bay Area artists and producers before signing with A&M Records.
Her debut studio album The Way It Is (2005) marked her commercial breakthrough, debuting within the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 and receiving platinum certification from the RIAA; it spawned the hit "Love". The album's success led to the BET reality series Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, which chronicled her personal life and career. Her second album Just like You (2007) peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and sold over one million copies in the United States. Three of its singles—"Let It Go" (featuring Lil' Kim and Missy Elliott), "I Remember", and "Heaven Sent"—each reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Four subsequent albums—A Different Me (2008), Calling All Hearts (2010), Woman to Woman (2012), and Point of No Return (2014)—debuted within the Billboard 200's top 10.
Cole has maintained a long-running television presence, starring in multiple BET reality series including Keyshia & Daniel: Family First and Keyshia Cole: All In, and joining the main cast of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood during its fourth season in 2017. That same year, she released her seventh studio album 11:11 Reset via Epic Records. In the 2020s, she expanded her activities to include hosting the Fox Soul–syndicated talk show One on One with Keyshia Cole, launching her independent imprint Hearts and Stars in partnership with BMG, competing on The Masked Singer, and executive-producing and starring in the Lifetime biographical film Keyshia Cole: This Is My Story (2023).
