Shekitra Starke is a Christian singer-songwriter and actress, who has a powerful and anointed voice. She is intentional about sharing empowering messages through her inspirational music. Starke’s music is wrapped in prevailing melodies, and sounds of triumph.
Early in her career, Shekitra’s singing, and dancing skills propelled her to being casted in the National Tour of Fosse; Starke was eventually promoted to performing as the headliner of the show. Following that opportunity, Starke was cast in the Off-Broadway musical River Deep: A Tribute to Tina Turner, where she played an Ikette and was the lead singer of the show’s band. From there, Shekitra made her Broadway debut, as an original cast member of the musical Mary Poppins, where she played the featured role of Aphrodite. The musical was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including ‘Best Musical’, during Starke’s three year run with the production. Shekitra was also casted, as a dancer, in the Warner Brothers musical film Rock of Ages. Starke has also appeared in numerous television commercials, over the years, working with many celebrated brands and clients.
As of late, Shekitra is working on her own music. Starke produced a concert called Fearless, an inspiring evening where she performed six of her original songs; she collaborated with visual artists, musicians, dancers, and speakers to create a show that would inspire attendees to break free from limitations and become fearless.
On September 18, 2020, Shekitra released her moving and thought-provoking single “Make It,” an anthem about never giving up. “Make It” is the first of many songs to come from Stark’e Fearless album. Shekitra is currently working on new music that is set to be released in 2022.
