Keith Semple (born 20 September 1981 in Larne, Northern Ireland) is a Northern Irish singer and musician. He originally had his own band Keith Semple Band. In 2002, he took part and was a winner in Popstars: The Rivals, consequently becoming a member of the boyband One True Voice (OTV). After the split-up of the band, he had a solo career before joining the American Chicago-based rock band 7th Heaven in 2006 as their lead singer. In 2010, he took a shot at the ninth season of American Idol, but lost his "golden ticket" place due to his legal status and residency considerations. In October 2012, Keith announced he would be leaving 7th Heaven to pursue his original music and announced the formation of his new band, SEMPLE. In September 2015, Keith auditioned for Season 9 of The Voice as part of Team Adam. He was eliminated from competition after the Top 24 round.
Keith Semple took part in the ITV television series Popstars: The Rivals, a British singing competition.
Host Davina McCall announced the names of the five contestants who had qualified for the boy band. Keith Semple was the first member to be announced followed by Matt Johnson. Third was Daniel Pearce and fourth Anton Gordon. The last available place went to Jamie Shaw whereas Chris Park was eliminated from the boys competition.
Semple and the four other contestant winners (Anton Gordon, Matthew Johnson, Daniel Pearce and Jamie Shaw) went on to form the group One True Voice.
The same show had also produced the girl group Girls Aloud that won the competition, with One True Voice as runners-up.
Keith Semple became a band member of the boyband One True Voice created as a results of the competition. The line up of the band was decided by public vote, who voted for their favourite male hopefuls each week to form the boyband. The name of the band was later shortened to OTV.
