Childhood

Lauren Keyana Palmer was born on August 26, 1993, in Harvey, Illinois. The girl grew up in a family of professional actors Larry and Sharon, who met at acting classes. The eldest daughter Loreal was already growing up in the family. In 2001, baby Lawrencia appeared in the family. Besides them, Keke has a brother Lawrence.

Shortly after Keke was born, the family moved to Robbins. Her parents decided to give up acting: Larry took a management job at a company manufacturing high-strength plastic products, while Sharon got involved in teaching and working with autistic children.

Despite their busy schedules, the Palmers found time for amateur theater productions and instilled in their daughters a love of the arts. Keke also showed musical talent early on, and at age 5, she began singing at Robbins Church, wowing parishioners with her incredible voice.

Career. Beginning

Keke was just nine when she auditioned for The Lion King. Two years later, she landed her first movie role. In the comedy-drama Barbershop 2: Back in Business, she played the niece of rap icon Queen Latifah's character.

Her success convinced her parents to make the move to Los Angeles, where young Keke could continue building her career. In Los Angeles, she attended school, worked with acting and vocal coaches, and in 2005, her parents signed a deal with Atlantic Records on her behalf.

Keke's debut song "All My Girlz" was featured in the family drama Akeelah and the Bee, where she played the lead role as a talented girl dreaming of winning the National Spelling Bee. Co-stars Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne praised Keke's extraordinary talent, noting her professional work ethic combined with natural childlike spontaneity.

In 2006, Keke appeared in the drama Medea's Family Reunion, cementing her status as a rising young star. Between 2007 and 2009, Keke appeared in numerous films. Standout films from this period include: the thriller Cleaner with Samuel L. Jackson, the sports teen comedy Jump In where Keke starred alongside Corbin Bleu, and the drama The Longshots, where she played Ice Cube's character's niece, who becomes the first girl to join a professional American football team.

The young star landed the lead role in Nickelodeon's sitcom True Jackson, VP, with all members of Palmer's family participating in the production. For three seasons, Keke played True, a lucky 15-year-old aspiring designer who becomes vice-president of the Mad Style youth fashion company.

Adult roles

In the musical comedy melodrama of 2012 Joyful Noise, Keke had the chance to work alongside the legendary Queen Latifah, as well as with Dolly Parton and Jeremy Jordan. The cast played members of a small-town church choir, determined to defend their town's honor and win the prestigious competition.
