greats, as well. In 2010, Keesha wowed and captured the heart of Dr. Bobby Jones when she performed at the IMAC Conference in a little town called Hendersonville, TN. This would be a night she would never forget when Dr Jones happened to be sitting in the front row and as she started singing, her tracks, unfortunately, began to skip. As she finished ministering, maintaining her professionalism as an artist, Dr. Jones grabs the mic and asks, “Where have you been and why have I never heard you before?” He then goes on to say, “You’re a star!” Since then, God has continued to show favor on her as she has been featured multiple times, internationally through the Word Network, performing on “Bobby Jones Presents,” sharing the stage with artists such as Kim Burrell, The Joyboyz, and Tim Rogers & the Fellas. Still not stopping there, she continues to move even closer towards her destiny, when she is blessed with the opportunity to grace the stage of “Bobby Jones Gospel” with industry’s top gospel artists Mary Mary, Vashawn Mitchell, and Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson at BET studios, in Washington, DC. It is during this time, that she delivered her heartfelt testimony, still being talked about to date, topping it off with an amazing, anointed, and from the depths of her soul performance of her song, “Breakthrough.” This show aired on BET as the 2011 season premiere. She then went on to write and record her hit Christmas single, “Born is the King,” released during the 2011 holiday season. Just recently Keesha became the winner of the Blockbuster Showdown “Upcoming Artist Award” 2012 in Florence, South Carolina, being judged by industry professionals and is also currently the nominee for the Gospel Music City Awards which will be held in Nashville, TN. April 28th. Keesha is married and an active member of Simeon Baptist Church, in Antioch, TN where she is currently praise and worship leader. She is currently writing and recording her sophomore album. ICONICRADIO.COM 14
