In fact, Keri Hilson’s musical career started already at the childhood stage, when her parents decided to enroll her in singing and piano classes. This proved to be a great idea, as Keri displayed musical skills since early years of her life. The knowledge and experience gained as a child came as she grew up. Her professional career began when she joined The Clutch, a group of song writers. Despite being just nineteen at the time, she had no problem writing lyrics for such famous artists as Britney Spears, Usher or Ludacris. Three years later Keri took up another challenge. Now for the first time she lent her own voice for a music album. Her vocals were featured in Xzibit’s “Hey Now (Mean Muggin)”. The subsequent years brought even more guest appearances. She collaborated with Diddy and Lloyd Banks, and was featured in two songs by Timbaland, which quickly made it to the tops of music charts. At the same time she was working on her own album, which was finally released in 2009 and which won her the hearts of fans from all over the world.
