Hope McKee

Hope McKee is an independent R&B/Soul and Blues artist known for her soulful vocals, emotional storytelling, and creative approach to music and visuals. Based in Tennessee, she blends classic soul influences with lived experience, humor, and heart—creating music that connects deeply and honestly with listeners.

Hope’s journey as a songwriter and performer began after attending songwriting workshops in Nashville, where she started co-writing and recording in small studios along Music Row. Those early sessions led to original songs such as “Seeing Things,” “I Need a Man,” and “Auntie Blues,” which became part of her debut album, This Is Me. The project combined original music and carefully chosen covers, reflecting her belief that great songs should feel both personal and timeless.

At 61, Hope is building her next creative era independently, using community support to fund new music, visuals, and storytelling projects. Alongside her music, she creates character-driven series such as Baby Blues, Studio Soul Sessions, and Blues Hotline, where humor, healing, and soul meet.

Hope’s work is rooted in authenticity, reinvention, and the belief that it’s never too late to step fully into your purpose.
