Tweet feat. Missy Elliott

about

Tweet (born Charlene L. Keys on January 21, 1971) is an American R&B, soul, and neo soul singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Biography The youngest child of Tom and Shirley Keys, Tweet was born in Rochester, New York and grew up singing in the church along with her parents and her four older siblings (three brothers, Tom, Cedric and Lonnie, and one sister, Sundra). Among them, the five children mastered instruments such as the piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums and many more. As a young girl, Tweet was inspired not only by her family, but also by larger-than-life divas Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston (whom she later worked with). Tweet's first steps into a career in the music industry first began when she enrolled in the School of the Arts (Rochester, New York). In 1990, at the age of 19, Tweet gave birth to her daughter, Tashawna. The name came from a mixture of both parents' names: "T" from Tweet and "Shawn" from Shawn, and the addition of two "A"s. In the early nineties, Tweet joined the female quintet Sugah, leaving her daughter with her parents in Panama City, Florida, while Tweet relocated to many places. Sugah was comprised of Tweet, Susan Weems, and Rolita White, and was a part of Devante Swing's Swing Mob collective. While there, she met Timbaland, Magoo, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott (who at the time was apart of the Hip-Hop/R&B group Sista), Playa, Ginuwine and Renee Anderson who were also all apart of the Swing Mob collective.
