Singer-songwriter, Keisha Hutchins, first came on to the Philadelphia music scene as the
lead-singer for the down-tempo electronic group, Vanishing Peoples of the Earth who released their first recording in late 2002. Since then, Hutchins has been involved in multiple projects and focused on creating her signature blend of folk and soul.
Her debut solo EP Dedicated, while representative of this folk/soul blend, also carries songs which are
reminiscent of her VPE days, with dark, watery melodies, and haunting, thought-provoking lyrics. The EP, comprised of songs either dedicated to or inspired by people and events in Hutchins' life, is an honest telling of life struggles, pursuits, hopes and lessons.
In addition to working on her own project, Hutchins has performed and recorded
with New York composer Andrew Shapiro as well as performed with New Orleans
composer and trumpeter, Hannibal Lokumbe. Keisha is also heavily involved with
Intercultural Journeys, a music organization which seeks to promote
understanding among people of diverse cultures and is directed by Philadelphia
Orchestra cellist, Udi Bar-David. She has also performed with the resident
choral ensemble of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Additionally, Keisha has made
appearances on several hip hop projects including those by Ghanian group
Ambassadoz and local MC Jake Lefco (Kru Records).
Keisha is currently working on the full-length follow-up recording to Dedicated EP.
