Kiesha Wright is an extraordinary
performer whose name has become synonymous for high energy, extraordinary legs,
good looks and amazing talent. She has starred as TINA TURNER in the "Legends
in Concert” show and the "Rock &Roll Heroes.“ She is exciting
to watch. If you think she is just another impersonator…you are wrong! Kiesha
is talented, a great vocalist, a dancer, and pretty. In December
of 1997, Kiesha performed her amazing
Tina Turner Tribute to a national TV audience on the Jenny Jones show that featured
“The Jenny Jones Look Alikes.” Kiesha
performed one of her original songs that she wrote and when she did her Tina Turner
impersonation the crowd went wild. It aired again in January of 1998 to include
that the applause was the best of "The Jenny Jones Show Series.”
Kiesha has made many other TV
appearances including ”Good Morning Atlanta” which airs on Channel
5 in the greater Atlanta viewing area. She also appeared on KGO ABC Channel
7 in conjunction with the Alameda County Food Bank for the annual food drive
for the needy and handicapped on December 18, 2000. Also she performed at the
grand opening of the Wax Museum in San Francisco that was shown on KRON channel
4. That lead to the write up by Angela Hill of The Oakland Tribune. The article's
headline read HEAD TURNER featured on November 14, 2000 and the first paragraph
starts with, "Is she, or isn’t she? Only her driver’s license
knows for sure. She’s got the voice. Sounds like honey in a gravel pit.
She's got the sneer. Looks like she just stepped on a tack. She’s got
the jiggle. Seems to come from somewhere in her big toe, crawls up her thighs
and takes over her entire body with such a shudder scientists may need to study
whether this woman is responsible for touching off earthquakes in the Bay Area.
“Who would have thought a performer who dresses up like TINA TURNER would
be "Mother of the Year." I was so surprised, and pleased, by that
recognition.”
Not only impersonating Tina Turner, Kiesha
has a program called “Kiesha Wright
Children's Foundation ORG.” She feeds one to two hundred people a day,
so when she performs, Kiesha takes
this money and gives back to the community by feeding the needy. This is why
Mayor Jerry Brown made her Oakland’s "Mother of the Year 2000".
Kiesha said, “IT’S
NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, IT’S ABOUT OTHERS TOO.”
