Hire Keith Washington

Born on November 15, 1960, in Detroit, Michigan, Keith Washington grew up immersed in the rich musical culture of Motown. Influenced by iconic R&B and soul artists, he developed a passion for music early on. He began his career by honing his singing and songwriting skills, performing in local venues and working his way up in Detroit’s competitive music scene. His exposure to Motown and local talent shaped his smooth, romantic R&B style, which would later define his career.

The winner of numerous talent shows as a member of various local groups during his teens, Keith Washington began his professional career in earnest when he began touring with Detroit-based R&B favorites, The Dramatics. When the group’s producer Don Davis heard him, he invited Keith to hang out at United Sound, one of the city’s top studios and after doing a vocal session for funk king George Clinton on a Funkadelic record, Keith had no doubt about his career path: “Doing what I loved and getting paid for it, too? Hey, then I knew music was (the right thing) for me.”

Breakthrough Hit with “Kissing You”
Washington’s big break came in 1991 when he released his debut album, Make Time for Love, featuring the hit single “Kissing You.” This romantic ballad became a massive success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and earning him a Grammy nomination. “Kissing You” quickly became Washington’s signature song, gaining widespread acclaim for its smooth vocals and emotive lyrics. The song remains a staple in R&B and is one of the highlights of Washington’s career.
