Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Harvey and raised in Robbins, Illinois, Keke first sang in her church choir at five. Her parents were former actors. Her film debut came in 2004, playing Queen Latifah’s niece in Barbershop 2: Back in Business, before her family moved to California to support her career.
The breakout.
Akeelah and the Bee made her a familiar face in 2006. She followed it with Jump In!, the R&B debut So Uncool and the title role in Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, VP. Music and acting grew together, from soundtrack songs to singing alongside Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton in Joyful Noise.
Building her own space.
Keke expanded into producing, hosting and online storytelling. Her social media characters became Turnt Up with the Taylors, which won her an Emmy. She launched the digital network KeyTV, hosts Baby, This Is Keke Palmer and earned another Emmy for hosting Password.
Music on her terms.
For Just Keke, she worked with Tayla Parx while filming I Love Boosters. The album brings her own experiences into songs and visuals, with room for both reflection and the humor fans recognize from her screen work.
