Longtime SoulTracks favorite KEA is, at her core, a storyteller. And that may be because the talented singer and songwriter has lived quite a personal story. Her own search for love and validation when she was younger led her into a series of abusive relationships and challenging years. "I didn't have that love and support, so I got involved in an unhealthy relationship and ended up in the streets," she recalls.
The Pittsburgh native endured homelessness and lived in subsidized housing as she raised her children alone. But in those dark years, she found the strength to turn things around, and among the spoils was her emerging singing career, where she shares her rich voice along with messages of empathy, faith and determination with her new fans.

But in those dark years, she found the strength to turn things around, and among the spoils was her emerging singing career, where she shares her rich voice along with messages of empathy, faith and determination with her new fans.
And that's where KEA's new single, "Turn It Around," comes into the picture. It is a song about working through the rough times -- whether in a relationship, a career or just in living -- knowing that with patience, faith and hard work you can get to the other side. A lightly arranged song, "Turn It Around" puts KEA's voice front and center, giving the song both intimacy and power.
