Keke Palmer is an American actress, singer, songwriter, and television host. The charming black artist is watched by millions of fans around the world. Keke is one of the brightest actresses in America. It loves to experiment with appearance and emphasizes that it is proud of natural beauty and does not plan to go to the table of plastic surgeons, no matter how old she is.
Childhood and youth
Lauren Keyana "Keke" Palmer (real name of the artist) was born on August 26, 1993, in the town of Harvey (USA). From early childhood, she began to be interested in music. And the dark-skinned girl loved to parody the characters of her favorite animated series.
Parents gave their talented daughter to the church choir. Keke managed to stand out there too - a year later she made her film debut. Despite early successes in the cinema, Keke did not abandon her main passion - singing.
She adored her hometown, but she understood that here she would not be able to fully realize her ambitions. During this period of time, the producers, who managed to discern a promising artist in Keck, persuaded their parents to move to California. After the move, Palmer continued to act in films and TV shows.
Films featuring Keke Palmer
At the beginning of his creative career, Keke got small, uncharacteristic roles. The talent of a promising actress for a long time remained without due attention. The first portion of popularity fell on a dark-skinned girl after the release of the tape "Barbershop-2: Back in business." She was entrusted to play the role of the niece of rap artist Queen Latifah.
After the release of the tape on the big screens, a mountain of offers from popular directors hit Keke. After some time, she starred in the series "Winx Club - Fairy School". Then she got a role in Jigo, and after a while she appeared in one of the most striking TV series of that time - Grey's Anatomy.
The next two years were incredibly productive for the artist. She received an offer to star in 5 tapes, and she worked with pleasure on the film sets of America. During the same period of time, she voiced the character of the cartoon Winx Club: Secret of the Lost Kingdom.
Filming in the TV series "True Jackson"
2008 changed her biography. Keke took part in the filming of the mega popular TV series True Jackson.
The tape was filmed until 2011. The rating of the actress went through the roof. The television series told the story of a fifteen-year-old girl who became the head of a prestigious company. Keke perfectly coped with the task that the directors set for her.
In 2009, she starred in the TV series Psychoanalyst. Then she took part in the dubbing of "The Cleveland Show" and "Winx Club: Magical Adventure." A year later, the actress took part in the filming of a short film.
After some time, she gets a role in a horror film. For Keke, this was the first experience in this genre. But, despite this, on the set of the tape "Animal" - she felt as harmonious and confident as possible.
This was followed by work on the series "Scream Queens". In 2018, she had the opportunity to star in the tape with a difficult plot "Pimp". After, she lit up in the Cracka tape. In the last film, she got the main role.

In 2007, the presentation of the debut LP of the performer took place. The collection was called So Uncool. The record was mixed at Atlantic Records.
The tracks that were included in the presented album did not hit the American chart. Despite this, critics spoke rather flatteringly about the compositions. The song Bottoms Up, which was included in the collection, was used as an audio track for the film Take a Step.

The album Waited to Exhale, which was released in 2016, is considered one of Keke's most worthy works. A year later, she presented the single Wind Up to fans of her work.
