Coming straight out of Harlem, romantic soul man Keith Sweat has been laying down the good loving grooves since he first emerged on the scene with the landmark disc Make It Last Forever. In addition to mega singles including the smooth title track "I Want Her," the former Wall Street broker helped to usher in the new jack swing musical movement with producer Teddy Riley.

Besides Keith's obvious talent as a singer, many might not realize that he is also an accomplished record producer (Dru Hill, The O'Jays, Silk) songwriter, television producer, talent scout, celebrity radio host and businessperson. Keith Sweat has been a radio personality since 2007. Somehow finding the time to do two radio shows, which include nationally syndicated program The Keith Sweat Hotel and New York's own Quiet Storm on WBLS, he is on-air everyday 7pm to 12Midnight on 46 stations, with over 7 million listeners daily.

One of Sweat's most anticipated projects is the upcoming Dru Hill reality show Keith Sweat's Platinum House, which was shot at a house and studio in Atlanta. The program is scheduled to preview this summer on Centric Television on June 28th. "I've been working with Dru Hill since their first album, but as any group will, they've had their share of joys and pains," says Keith. "I thought we could kill two birds with one stone if we filmed them in the studio (The Sweat Box) and the drama that happens between them even when they are not. Those guys are just good television."

With over two decades in the soul business, Keith Sweat looks forward the release of Ridin' Solo. "Longevity means everything to me," Sweat states. "I'm proud to still make records that mean something to the hardcore fans."

Indeed, the first single "Test Drive," from sweat's ninth solo project Ridin' Solo, a grown man duet with soul sensation Joe, is a fantastic surprise. "Joe and I have been talking about working together for years, but now that we are label mates at Kedar Entertainment, it just made it that much easier."
