Keeva   @2:30

Keeva joins Davey Hammond @3:38

Keeva Renee' Harris a Native Clevelander, born March 24, 1969 began singing at the tender age of three. She studied violin while attending Elementary School and went on to join the Singing Angels under the Direction of William Boehm. By age eleven, Keeva recorded her first 45 rpm. and became popular as one of the Cleveland’s celebrated female Bass Guitarist being that she could both lead songs and play simultaneously.

 

 In the year 1989, she began traveling with a popular female Quartet Group (The Truthettes) who were signed with Malacco Records…at which time (age 18) they headlined with Artists such as, The Winans, Commissioned, The Canton Spirituals and others.

 

 In 1991, Keeva was joined in Holy Matrimony to Gregory Harris, her childhood sweetheart. Although this couple can perform and write songs appropriate for any occasion….most of this couple's original songs feature vertical lyrics intended to draw the audience into a Praise & Worship experience.

 

Similarly, while still in elementary school, Gregory also began his journey as a professional musician being requested as young as ten yrs. of  age - going on to be later recruited as guitarist for Recording Artist Doc McKenzie and the Gospel Highlites based in Lake City South Carolina (Light Records- Label) During that season, many doors began to open. Concerts with Kim Burrell, Anointed, The Williams Brothers, and many others helped develop him into the minstrel he is today.

 

   Looking back they both realize the seeds they have sown in helping ministries, soloists, choirs and groups throughout their childhood going on into servicing the church as Ordained Elders in 2006. Shortly after she adopted her God given new idenity as Sarah Keeva Prospers

 

 

Keeva sings @ 0:28 & 3:16

In 1996, Keeva began to experience uncommon favor in the Gospel Music industry. She is mostly known for her extensive travel with National Artist Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ which began when Fred, after seeing her performance during his time in Ohio, recruited her for a tour he was headlining with Kirk Franklin and Yolanda Adams. During that time he discovered her unique ability to hear, arrange and teach music material using unique layers of harmony parts without accompaniment.

 

After just 3 months, the Lord continued to shower down promotions & blessings as she took Face to Face by storm. She earned her own space (a room full of recording equipment) as tools for her new position as the only female on Fred’s newly developed Music Production team, working with other members and songwriters within his  band - a crew specifically chosen to do nothing but create and record music daily, as well as oversee various recording projects springing out of Face to Face Studios, now known as the, F Hammond Label now based in Dallas.

 

 The three projects she spearheaded before she left to embark on a different course of ministry were:

 Shout in the House,  Worship in the House  & Word in the House - Integrity Music Group

 

After having proven her dedication and ability to oversee Motor City Mass Choir and other vocalists featured on these three projects, she earned herself a Publishing Contract which was handed to five chosen musicians out of a group of approx. 18-20 R.F.C. Members. One of which was Keeva.  Fred offered this deal thru Zomba Music Publishing Group.

Since then, as one of Fred’s premier lead vocalists, Keeva have ministered to audiences of as much as 9,000+ in major theatre & venues such as Detroit’s Fox Theatre, Cleveland’s Palace Theatre, New York’s popular Apollo Theatre, Grand Ole Opera, Trinity Broadcasting Network both in Canton and Nashville, Universal Studios  and Madison Square Garden just to name a few. Her travels have extended as far as Jamaica and London England and across 101 cities during the “Tour of Life”.

 

 

Keeva’s vocal tones and teaching abilities bring with it, many profound achievements and endorsements from various Artists who has become fond of her and called her ‘friend”. Members of Take Six, Actor John Gray, Actor/Singers Terrell Carter, Tamela & David Mann (Tyler Perry), Men of Standard, Dawkins and Dawkins, Vickie Winans, Calvin Nowell, Dr. Marvin Sapp, and others.

 

Also, various Men and Women of God (Bishop Clarence McClendon, Bishop George Scott, The Late Bishop Bill McKinney, Bishop Dwight Pate, Apostle David Taylor, Apostle Richard Bunkely, Bishop Dorsey, Dr. Gwendolyn McCurry, Pastor Donnie McKlurkin) and others who have offered spiritual guidance and spoke prophetically over her and her Husband’s lives. Many of which have confirmed the gifts and the God given ability within, to cast out demons and heal major ailments in the body, aids, stubborn arthritis, and cancer thru their unique music ministry, which brings with it, power and demonstration as the presence of God is ushered in.

 

 

 

 

Along with her on the road and in the studio expertise, Keeva humbly operates in the following Gifts: Healing, Miracles, Tongues, Administration, She and her Husband both have been blessed with the Gift of Discernment, Word of Knowledge, Gift of Faith & Prophecy for the building up and edification of the Body.  Exposure to various musical genres from quartet, to choral, classical, traditional, inspirational and Christian Music, has given this couple a well rounded skill set that they can pull from, when accompanying others vocally or musically. Never straying away from the Gospel and it’s message, their ministry has never been tainted and as a result, has become a anointed vehicle of healing and deliverance for the Glory of God.

 

 They constantly pray for the birthing and preservation of temple worshippers who will remain exclusive to using their gifts for Kingdom purpose. For only then, will the house of God experience a pure supernatural sound that will pierce thru the darkness.
