| Life & Career |
Lorna Wyatt and Keever Wyatt gave birth to Keke Wyatt on 10 March 1982 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. She has the instincts and skill to be a singer because she was born into a musical household. Her family was made up of seven people, including four brothers. She was born into a white and black mixed household and therefore grew up in an overwhelmingly African-American environment.
She started singing at the age of two and performed her first stage concert at the age of five.
