The Monday Playlist Features Singer/Songwriter + Co-Owner of “Jolie Noire”: Keyondra Lockett

We released another new episode of “The Monday Playlist” this week featuring Keyondra Lockett!! Keyondra is a star singer/songwriter and business woman making her the perfect guest to help us close out Black History Month while being on the cusp of Women’s History Month!

Keyondra’s single “Try” allowed her to hit the Top 15 on the Billboard charts. Most recently, she hit #1 on Billboard with her single “Trouble Don’t Last”. Charting on Billboard has proven to only be the beginning of great moments that have helped to catapult her music career in a fresh direction which was soon followed by 2 nominations from the Gospel Music Stellar Awards.

In 2020, Keyondra was the first Gospel artist to be honored with her own doll. Later she partnered with her sister and stylist Kim Lockett to begin their latest venture clothing line Joulie Noir which is currently being sold and featured in Target nationwide as apart of their Black History Collections.
