Keisha White (born 31 March 1988) is an English pop artist. She has released two albums - Seventeen in 2005 and her last album Out of My Hands, which was certified gold in 2007.
Keisha White attended Enfield County School for girls, then pursued a career in music whilst attending Susi Earnshaw Theatre School in Barnet North London, alongside Jay Asforis who found fame in S Club 8. When she was 14, White was invited to perform in front of music executives at Warner Bros. Records. She sang "If You Should Lose a Good Thing" by Aretha Franklin a cappella and the record company were so impressed that they signed her. "If You Should Lose a Good Thing" became the first song White performed live for an audience. At the age of 15 she collaborated with Paul Oakenfold and Desert Eagle Discs.
She has toured countries in Africa, Europe, and the United States. White was involved with production, vocals and mastering working with Keith Harris, Theron Feemster, Phantom Boyz, Robin Miller. On 15 March 2004, at the age of 17, three years after signing her record deal, White released her debut single, "Watcha Gonna Do", following a support slot on R&B group Mis-Teeq's tour in late 2003. She also sang the theme tune for CBBC's The Story of Tracy Beaker television series and the track was included as the B-side to her debut single.
After the release of "Watcha Gonna Do", White returned in 2005 with her second single, "Don't Care Who Knows". The track featured U.S. rapper Cassidy and peaked No. 29 in the UK Singles Chart. Following the release of this single, on 7 March 2005, White's debut album Seventeen was released. Her third single, "Don't Fool a Woman in Love" was released on 23 May 2005. Following the limited success of both her album and third single, White went on another hiatus, following a support slot for Beverley Knight at Rochester Castle. A third single from her debut album "The Weakness in Me", a double A-side with "Open Like So" was not released.
