Singing since the age of six, Keeshea Pratt has shared the stage with several notable national figures including bluesman Bobby Rush, Eddie Cotton, opera singer Grace Bumbry, soul singer Musiq Soulchild, and gospel icon the late Reverend James Moore. Pratt has accomplished what few Mississippi based singers before her has ever achieved - the ability to attract fans from all walks of life without ever straying from the intricate roots that nurtured her award winning voice in the first place.
Draped with amazing style, class, and sophistication, Pratt takes you on a journey through all genres of music.
On January 21, 2018, The Blues Foundation out of Memphis, TN crowned Keeshea as the Queen of the 2018 International Blues Challenge (IBC).  Simultaneously, at downtown Memphis’ Orpheum Theatre, Pratt and her brass-heavy Texas ensemble took home 1st place in the best band category. They released their debut album “Believe” that May.
