Kiki Sheard / Keith Wonderboy Johnson July 2, 2009

Grammy-award nominated gospel singer Kierra “Kiki” Sheard’s voice is soulful and full-bodied -- it’s no wonder she started singing as a young girl in the Detroit church her father preached in. At age nine she recorded a duet with her mother, “The Safest Place,” and at age seventeen she recorded her debut album, “I Owe You.” Her sound mixes gospel, hip-hop and soul into a big, energetic sound. Good thing she’s performing in the park; her sound would fill up any room.
