A cross between Alicia Keys and Nina Simone, Markeisha Ensley is a dynamic singer/songwriter whose music comes straight from the soul. Originally from Aurora, Colorado, her songs encompass the full spectrum: from love and spirituality to joy and pain. She has a voice that embodies honey and velvet, the deep-felt low notes of Gladys Knight and the spiraling high notes of early Whitney Houston, but the sound is all Markeisha's. In 2006, Markeisha released her first full length CD, Ready, which she co-produced with Adam Parness for Parns Music Productions. The soulful disc, with its hopeful message about love and life includes nine tracks penned by the singer. Two songs from that album, “The Strangest Thing†and “Loving You†received Honorable Mentions in the 2006 Billboard World Songwriting Contest. She was recently featured as a Spotlight Member with the Songwriter's Guild of America and is an ASCAPlus Award winner. Markeisha has shared the stage with Angie Stone and performed around New York City in such notable venues as The Bitter End, Apollo Theater, The Cutting Room, and Rockwood Music Hall. She is currently writing new material for her second album.
