Keri Noble came to Minneapolis seven years ago after falling in love with the musical community in the Twin Cities. But that’s not where the story begins. Living back and forth between Texas and Illinois, her family finally settled down in Michigan, where her father took a job as pastor of a bilingual church in southwest Detroit. Her upbringing exposed her to different cultures, which explains the diverse sound that makes her music unique. Surrounded by gospel and urban music, it took a while for Noble to find her own voice. But the day she heard Joni Mitchell’s Blue, a whole new world opened up for her. She began writing and putting her words to music. The result is a beautiful mix of r&b, pop, and singer-songwriter. In 2003, Keri signed with EMI/Manhattan. In March of ’04, she released her debut album, Fearless. Billboard magazine called it a sparkling, beautifully recorded debut. It was picked up in 22 worldwide markets. She had great success in Asia, with two top-ten hits, a song in the highest rated TV show, a song in a hit movie and a sold-out tour of the historic Blue Note clubs.
