'''Keisha Jackson''' is an American [R&B](/source/R%26B) singer, and is the daughter of R&B & soul singer-songwriter [Millie Jackson](/source/Millie_Jackson).

Having grown up in a family rich with music history, Keisha’s childhood was immersed in music. People like [the Isley Brothers](/source/the_Isley_Brothers) and [the O'Jays](/source/the_O'Jays) would visit her house, and she worked as a background singer for her mom when she was fifteen.  Keisha Jackson went to college for two and a half years before moving to [Atlanta, Georgia](/source/Atlanta%2C_Georgia), where she tried to pursue a music career. She formed a girl group with her friend called Obsession and played the clubs around Atlanta.

Keisha then got an opportunity to record an album, and in 1989, released her self-titled debut. The album scored a minor hit with its single, “Hot Little Love Affair” which reached #39 on the charts. In 1991, Keisha released a second effort, titled ''Keisha'', which featured the single “Mature Love.” The track failed to make a big impression and peaked at #80 on the R&B charts.

Keisha then began working with [LaFace Records](/source/LaFace_Records) as a background vocalist on tracks with [Toni Braxton](/source/Toni_Braxton), [Whitney Houston](/source/Whitney_Houston) and [Bobby Brown](/source/Bobby_Brown). She became involved with a [Warner Bros. Records](/source/Warner_Bros._Records) plan to form a group called Black Coffy and was signed to the project. However, the group was dropped before ever releasing any recordings.  Today,{{when|date=February 2025}} Keisha continues to record and perform, and has started her own agency titled One Voice Entertainment.  She performs often as a backup singer with [Erykah Badu](/source/Erykah_Badu)'s band and has provided background vocals for [Joss Stone](/source/Joss_Stone), [Angie Stone](/source/Angie_Stone), [OutKast](/source/OutKast) and [Faith Evans](/source/Faith_Evans).
