“I would consider a professional singer anyone who, number one, you can make a living off of your profession,” said Jeremy Keith, who has toured with Stephanie Mills and been an After 7 member throughout his 20-year career. “And you’ve put in the work to call yourself a professional. I also thing it’s someone that can work in multiple enviroments. I think maybe that’s the added plus.”
Keith delivered a three chair turn during the Blinds for his rendition of Freddie Jackson’s “You Are My Lady.” During the Battles, he sang a little Spanish with Aziz Guerra for their performance of Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour.” “I think I’ve always challenged myself because I was always around people who were so much better than me,” said Keith. “I felt these people are who I want to be as a professional singer. And just always reaching. It made me want to work harder, and it encouraged me being around those people – my friends who are amazing, talented people. I really attribute a lot of it to my family and my surroundings.”
Check out Jeremy Keith tonight on The Voice: Battle of Champions (9/8c) and streaming next day on Peacock.
