Keisha White chats to ilikemusic.com

KEISHA: There a lot of American people doing that. Such as Kanye West, Alicia Keys and other soul divas out there, but there's not enough UK. I think at the moment, the UK urban/soul scene for females has gone a little bit quiet. Except for new artists coming out like Corinne Bailey-Rae, obviously Ms Dynamite's and Jamelia, who's gone a bit quiet. And I just think there needs to be more and people who are around for years and years. I think that's something the UK has to master. You can't be seen out of the public eye, you have to be there all the time and just work hard.

ILM: Talking of Alicia. You appeared in Halle Berry's Catwoman movie- personally recommended for the role by Alicia Keys - how did Alicia Keys end up recommending you, and how was that experience of film?

KEISHA: Alicia Keys was doing her European tour at the time so was unable to do the role. She was listening to all the singers that had come in, the vocalists and she apparently just fell in love with my voice and said, 'she's the girl, she has to do it.' So I did. But I didn't get to meet her. I did meet Halle Berry though and she's a lovely person.
