Keeana Kee is a New York based singer and a professional model.
Keeana was born in Latvia but moved to the UK as a teenager and began singing at events in London. Keeana quickly took to performing live with a cover band developing audience participation skills and around her own style of music. Inspired by her idols Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Beyonce Keeana realized a dream in 2016 by moving to the US, where she began working on her first records.
Keeana’s Exotic Pop style is a combination of Pop, Afropop and Latin influence that brings integrity to her work, that is refreshing and full of exotic taste.
Keeana Kee’s soulful vocal timbre is often compared to Sia, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Musically she began to learn a piano and a guitar to aid her journey into writing her own songs.
Keeana’s debut tropical reggae single “Coconut Rum and Coke” is a breezy reggae track that mimics the laid back vibe of its title, featuring Latin Grammy-winning producer Maffio. The accompanying video saw her as a member, passionate activist and a supporter of the LGBTQ community. Keeana Kee is not one to shy away from controversy, her music videos have touted her sexuality, while her most recent, the Afropop tribal percussion of “Sweet Heaven,” offers a veiled critique at this country’s increasingly harsh border policies.
The affirmative quality has always been a part of not just Keeana Kee’s music, but her life, an indomitable spirit that empowers others to be their true selves, even if it goes against others’ expectations.
