Keri Hilson is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who emerged as a promising talent in the late 2000s. She first gained notable attention as a background vocalist and songwriter, lending her skills to tracks for other artists before stepping into the spotlight with her solo work. Hilson's breakthrough came with her debut studio album, "In A Perfect World..." released in 2009. This album showcased her penchant for sultry R&B melodies mixed with pop sensibilities, earning her a host of nominations and awards, including Grammy nods for Best New Artist and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

Following the success of her debut, Keri Hilson released her second album, "No Boys Allowed," in 2010.
