Biography
Keyla Richardson brings classic soul undertones to her work as a contemporary gospel artist, energizing listeners with dynamic praise and worship material. Her breakthrough exposure arrived through a season-nine appearance on BET's Sunday Best talent showcase.
Pensacola, Florida, is where she was born and raised, immersed from childhood in church music under her pastor parents. Local performances and worship leadership marked her teenage years. A 2015 video of Richardson and friends delivering the Walls Group's "Hold On" spread widely online, sparking broader interest that prompted her 2018 single "Believe" on Doug Williams' Blackberry Records. She returned to national attention that year as a season-nine contestant on Sunday Best, placing in the final four. After the program, she issued the single "So Good," which reached the gospel charts in 2019. The full So Good album followed in September 2020, coming after the release of "Corona Can't Hold Me Down."
Richardson resurfaced in April 2024 with the single "Home" following a four-year hiatus.
