Keith Mitchell
Keith Mitchell, legendary R&B soul singer and one of the original voices behind the
Grammy-nominated group After 7, is embarking on a bold new journey. With the release of his debut gospel album, "Food For Your Life", and its breakout single "He’s Alive", Mitchell has traded the glow of stage lights for the illuminating presence of God.
A household name among R&B lovers for over three decades, Keith Mitchell helped define a generation’s soundtrack to love. Alongside brothers Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, Mitchell co-founded After 7, a chart-dominating trio produced by Babyface, L.A. Reid, and Daryl Simmons. Their classic 1989 debut gave birth to timeless hits like Ready or Not, Can’t Stop, and Heat of the Moment, all of which earned platinum status and cemented Mitchell’s place in music history.
A native of Indianapolis, Mitchell grew up in Christ at Zion Tabernacle Pentecostal Church. Alongside his brother and two sisters, he sang in the family group The Stars of Zion and later became director of the church’s Young Adult Choir by age 13. With 'Food For Your Life', officially released on July 11, Mitchell has returned to his spiritual roots with intention and passion.
“After decades of singing about love between people, I now sing about the greatest love of all—God’s love,” says Mitchell. “Food For Your Life" is more than an album. It’s a ministry. While fans of After 7 will recognize Mitchell’s unmistakable voice, they’ll also hear a newfound spiritual freedom in his tone. The album’s themes of restoration, renewal, and hope offer a timely message to a world in need of healing.
Keith Mitchell has emerged from the valley with a message and a mission.
