Keke Palmer 'All The Girlz' album

Keke Palmer’s acting career started at the tender age of nine when she won a small role in the feature film BARBERSHOP 2 – BACK IN BUSINESS. That role led to a series of guest-starring roles on television as well as a lead role in an Emmy-nominated made for TV movie entitled, “The Wool Cap,” where she worked alongside one of her favorite actors William H. Macy. Her performance was so remarkable that it earned her an NAACP Image Award nomination for Best Actress in a Movie Made for Television, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Nomination in the Best Leading Actress category.

Her fellow nominees? None other than Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank, Glenn Close and Patricia Heaton. Close went on to take home the statue. But Keke was a winner that night too, becoming the youngest actor to ever be nominated by the Guild in a Lead Actor Category.

Recently, Keke had the pleasure of co-starring in the made for television movie, “Knights of the South Bronx”; shot a pilot for her own show on Disney Channel, “Keke & Jamal;” and wrapped not one but two Lionsgate films—MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION starring Tyler Perry, Blair Underwood, Lynn Whitfield, Cicely Tyson, Maya Angelou; and AKEELAH AND THE BEE.

An accomplished singer and songwriter, Keke recently signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Although she had offers from three other major labels, Keke felt strongly that Atlantic was the right place for her. After all, Atlantic is the label that launched the careers of legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.

At the ripe old age of twelve, Keke clearly has a long adventurous road ahead of her, but no one can argue the fact that she is off to a fantastic start!
