The Beginning
No claims to fame to brag about -- just a Southern girl from a small central Texas town located about an hour from Houston who found herself in the mist of a revolting music movement during the 80’s.
Keetria grew up in Bryan where she developed a keen interest in music, fashion and film at an early age -- frequently recreating songs on her Yamaha Keyboard, sewing together fabric or acting as the host of Yo! MTV Raps. In middle school she often hung out with childhood friends and wrote songs and raps along with participating in a few school talent shows where she would show off her comedic side. Frequently recognized as being a creative and artistic, she begin writing and developing short story film concepts and comedy scripts.
Later a college day trip in Atlanta landed Keetria and a couple of friends in the offices of Rowdy Records; It was at that moment she was able to appreciate the aspect of being an entrepreneur in the entertainment industry and the optimistic teenager began cultivating her ambitions of a successful career in the music business. The once self-declared couch potato continued to write and begin expanding her network. She landed several internship positions with local entertainment publications where she quickly learned the fundamentals of entertainment writing.
As a senior at the University of Texas in Arlington she majored in Communication and founded HyPursuit Inc, an experiment marketing and lifestyle concept which was initially transformed from an online music editorial dedicated to promoting Indie artists. Keetria then went on to establish herself as a party DJ and is now playing DJ gig's at exclusive venues and private engagements all over the World.
