Since Kierra Sheard-Kelly stepped on the scene with her debut album as a solo artist in 2004, she has blessed the world with incredible music and flawless artistry. With her signature contemporary urban inspirational sound, the singer, songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur, who married Jordan Kelly in 2020, has become a treasure in the industry. Now the GRAMMY® and Stellar Award-winning artist is back with All Yours, her seventh studio album, slated to be released in early March on RCA Inspiration and her family’s Karew Entertainment label (her younger brother J. Drew Sheard II serves as label CEO). Thanks to Sheard-Kelly’s deep faith in God and unwavering spiritual conviction and commitment, the Detroit native and her husband, Jordan Kelly, lead a youth and young adult ministry at the Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church Of God In Christ. Kierra has created an insightful, transparent, genre-blurring album full of beautiful testimony and illustrious lyrics.

 

For All Yours, she teamed up with a few powerhouses in the industry she knew could help make a project come alive, such as J. Drew Sheard II, Adia, Anita Wilson, Pastor Mike Jr., Mali Music, Jekalyn Carr, Anthony Brown, Marc J, Mia Fields, Jord’an Armstrong, and Mitch Wong. Thanks to their writing, singing, producing, or engineering contributions and Sheard-Kelly’s undeniable talent, All Yours is a no-skip gem. And it’s no wonder she’s as talented as she is. After all, the dynamo grew up with gospel barrier-breakers as role models: Her mother, Karen Clark Sheard (member of the legendary group The Clark Sisters), grandmother/Clark matriarch Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, and her father, Bishop J. Drew Sheard, who is the Presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ, Inc., and Senior Pastor of Greater Emmanuel Institutional (GEI). Sheard-Kelly’s remarkable gospel roots and vocal genius are evident in each song on All Yours. From the title track and first single, “Miracles,” featuring Pastor Mike Jr., to “Praise Through” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” her profound devotion to the Lord shines brightly throughout the entire album.

 

Music-making is not the only thing in which she excels. In 2020, she co-starred in the top-rated and critically acclaimed biopic, The Clark Sisters: The First Ladies of Gospel on Lifetime, in which she portrayed her mother, Karen. That film was followed by Sheard-Kelly starring in the movie Miracles Across 125th Street alongside Nick Cannon and Lil Kim in 2021. In addition to music and acting, Sheard-Kelly is the founder of Eleven60, a clothing line focused on curvy women that is available at Macys.com and named after the month and year that her mother was born.

 

She is also the author of two devotional books (published by Zonderkidz) for teens and young adults: Big, Bold and Beautiful: Owning the Woman God Made You to Be and The Vibes You Feel: What I’ve Learned about Life and Relationships Through the Holy Spirit, set to release in the spring of 2023. Sheard-Kelly is also working on a children’s book entitled Kiki Finds Her Voice, which encourages children to be OK with being different. Although she has a busy career, giving back to the community through mentorship and fellowship has always been a top priority. Her women’s ministry, SistHer (founded in 2017), has grown into a national organization that focuses on bringing women together for meaningful conversations and connections.
