Kierra "KiKi" Sheard’s Latest CD Tops Billboard Charts in First Week

'This Is Me' follows in the trail blazed by her 2004 chart-topping debut album 'I Owe You' and its remixed version, which yielded the international radio hit "Let Go." Her musical roots stem from her father, Dr. J Drew Sheard, (pastor of Michigan mega church Greater Emmanuel Inst. COGIC) and her mother, gospel icon Karen Clark-Sheard of the legendary Clark Sisters. At the age of 9, Kierra won the prestigious Stellar Award for Best Children’s Performance for her collaboration on her mother’s solo debut album 'Finally Karen .'

During the first month of promotion for 'This Is Me,' Kierra visited radio stations, retail outlets, conducted media opportunities and performed in churches in cities such as Dallas, Norfolk, New York City, Atlanta and Washington D.C. This week, she will return to her native Detroit (July 5-6) and then go on to Houston (July 8) to open for the Clark Sisters Reunion recording, on to Chicago (July 15-17) before performing at T.D. Jakes’ MegaFest in Atlanta on July 20.

In August, she will unleash her powerful vocal prowess on the masses during CeCe Winans’ Always Sisters, Always Friends conference (August 5) in Nashville, and during Dr. Creflo Dollar’s World Changers Ministries (August 11). Then the singer is off on an 11-day trek through Japan . On the heels of her whirlwind Japanese jaunt, where select tracks from 'This Is Me' have landed her in the top 10 on the Japanese international radio chart , EMI Gospel will release Kierra's first-ever concept music video.
