A proud Recording Academy® member and active voice on its New York Advocacy Committee, Keisha also serves as a GRAMMYU® mentor, championing the next generation of music creators. Her impact extends beyond the stage—she is the visionary founder of the R.I.S.E. HER Summit™, a nonprofit platform created to Rally, Inspire, Support, and Empower women in music, tech, and entertainment through mentorship, education, and access to career resources.
In its debut year, the R.I.S.E. HER Summit™ earned both a New York City Mayoral Citation and a Congressional Proclamation from Congresswoman Yvette Clarke for its cultural and social impact.
Keisha's single “This Love”—written and produced by Donovan Sebastian (RiddimDaddy)—garnered GRAMMY® consideration in 2024. Her growing catalog includes the genre-blending hit “Rocksteady”, as well as fan favorites “Best Part” and “Can’t Forget You”, produced by GRAMMY® winner Maurice Gregory.
She has shared stages with some of the most legendary names in music, including Black Uhuru, The Skatalites, Third World, Marcia Griffiths, Ken Boothe, Melissa Morgan, and Kenny Lattimore.
Her accolades include the 2024 Best Singer of the Year Award (Cheatah’s Paradise Awards), the Nina Simone Artistic Excellence Award, and official recognition from U.S. Congress for her contributions to culture and community.
Keisha Martin continues to use her platform to inspire, uplift, and empower—amplifying voices, bridging cultures, and leaving a legacy rooted in truth, artistry, and purpose.
