Kierra Sheard-Kelly, a GRAMMY winner and multiple Dove & Stellar Award-winning artist, began her musical career at age nine and has already established herself as a veteran in the gospel music industry by age 38. As the daughter of Karen Clark Sheard of the renowned Clark Sisters and Bishop J. Drew Sheard, Sr., pastor of Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ, Kierra’s musical legacy is deeply rooted. She recently released her seventh studio album, All Yours (2023), following the chart-topping Kierra (2020). This album features collaborations with artists like Mali Music and Jekalyn Carr and is celebrated for its genre-blurring sound and powerful lyrics. In addition to her music career, Kierra starred in the acclaimed biopic, The Clark Sisters: The First Ladies of Gospel.

Beyond music, Kierra is an entrepreneur and author. She founded Eleven60, a clothing line for curvy women aimed at promoting body confidence, and has authored three books: Big, Bold, and Beautiful: Owning the Woman God Made You to Be, The Vibes You Feel: What I’ve Learned about Life and Relationships Through the Holy Spirit, and Kiki Finds Her Voice. She also leads Sisther, a faith-based community and mentorship program for women. Now a wife and mother, Kierra continues to inspire, uplift, and bring people closer to God through her music, ministry, and multifaceted endeavors.
