It wasn’t even supposed to be a single, but when the record industry heard it, everybody went ballistic and it stayed in the Top 10 on several leading R&B charts. I was 16 years old when I recorded “My First Love” with Avant, and 18 when the single was released. Either way, her vocal ability was well beyond her years. Though Avant has said that Wyatt was 14 when she recorded “My First Love,” Wyatt said in a previous interview that she was 16-years-old. Keke Wyatt was just 16 when she recorded ‘My First Love’ My time is coming and I love Avant and I’ll never change the way I feel about our musical chemistry, but sometimes it gets annoying to be “the girl who sang with Avant.” But I’m good because this new album is going to tell everyone who the hell Keke Wyatt is. Sometimes I regret starting off my career with someone else, but at the same time, things happen for a reason. Well, like I said, my first album sold more than half a million copies, so people were listening to more than just “My First Love,” which wasn’t even on my album. Though Wyatt was able to gain traction through Avant and the pair still have an incredible relationship, it can be discerning to be connected with another artist for the entirety of our career. Keke Wyatt regrets starting her career off with someone else Soul Sista was released on November 13, 2001, and eventually went platinum. However, her second single, “Nothing in This World” - another song with Avant, shot right to the top of the charts. The album’s initial single, “Used to Love” didn’t quite gain the buzz that Wyatt had hoped.
With Randy Jackson and Boyz II Men manager, Quadri El Amin supporting her, Wyatt was able to record her first album, Soul Sista in just two weeks. That same year she earned her first solo album contract with MCA Record. Though Wyatt had been working mostly behind the scenes in the music industry for nearly 10 years by then, the hit song finally earned her the traction that she deserved. When “My First Love” debuted in 2000, it remained on the top 10 charts for weeks.
