Keyshia Cole the R&B singer, the soul singer, the rapper, the artist, the businesswoman. The twenty-something Oakland, California native grew up on the hard side of the track but let that rough beginning make her the woman she is today. Keyshia is a serious businesswoman who launched her own record company with one rapper who she firmly believed in and sold her idea to her producer. When Keyshia was asked how was it that she could juggle all of the things she’s got going on and be so successful, she replied in a matter-of-fact fashion that she was “just doing what I gotta …read more
