Markeena Novembre is a Haitian American singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and global changemaker redefining what it means to be an independent artist. Born in Jamaica, Queens, New York, and rooted in Atlanta, Georgia, Markeena has built a multifaceted career at the intersection of music, fashion, culture, entrepreneurship, and social impact. A proud graduate of Clark Atlanta University, she is more than an artist with a powerful voice. She is a visionary committed to creating experiences that move souls, building platforms that empower communities, and using her influence to inspire a generation.

Known as a “Singer Soulwriter,” Markeena creates music that celebrates love, vulnerability, self-expression, and the beauty of the human experience. Her artistry is grounded in the rich traditions of soul and R&B, blending heartfelt storytelling with captivating vocals and a commanding stage presence. Through her signature live music experience, For the Love of Soul (FTLOS), she has attracted more than 3,000 attendees over the past two years and generated over one million online engagements, establishing a growing community of soul music lovers and supporters of independent artistry.

In 2026, Markeena entered an exciting new chapter of her musical journey. Following the release of her single “If I Let You” in March, she announced her newest single, “Whimsy,” releasing October 23, 2026. The release marks a new creative era rooted in confidence, femininity, freedom, and the unapologetic celebration of individuality.

To bring this era to life, Markeena announced The Whimsy Pop Up Tour, an intimate, traveling pop-up music experience designed to bring soul music directly to audiences around the world. Beginning in Atlanta on October 24, the tour includes announced stops in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and Paris, alongside her signature For the Love of Soul experience in Atlanta. With the tagline “Bringing a Pop Up of Soul Music to a City Near You,” the tour reflects Markeena’s mission to make authentic live music more personal, accessible, and unforgettable.

Expanding her creative vision beyond the stage, Markeena also launched Keena’s Korsets, her own fashion brand inspired by the statement corsets that have become a defining part of her performance wardrobe and personal style. Offering inclusive sizing from 0 to 22, the brand celebrates curves, individuality, femininity, and confidence. Through the introduction of Keena’s Angels, Markeena is building more than a clothing line. She is cultivating a community that encourages women to embrace their beauty and express themselves boldly.

Beyond entertainment and fashion, Markeena has dedicated more than a decade to creating meaningful change. In 2016, while attending Clark Atlanta University, she founded Breaking the Cycle Global (BTCG), an international service and leadership organization committed to breaking cycles of inequity through community service, leadership development, resource mobilization, and global engagement. Over the past ten years, the organization has raised more than $50,000, mobilized students and alumni in service, supported initiatives that feed thousands annually, and sustained a six-year partnership serving 86 children at an orphanage in South Africa. Her commitment to expanding opportunity has also helped connect students with international service and cultural experiences.

Her entrepreneurial and civic leadership extends to founding Culture Forward Global and the Paint the Globe Black Fellowship, initiatives centered on cultural connection, leadership, global exposure, and community empowerment. She has also served as Executive Chair of the Global Shapers Atlanta Hub, part of a global network of young leaders connected to the World Economic Forum. Her professional experience includes work with Invest Atlanta and the campaign of U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, further reflecting her commitment to civic engagement, economic opportunity, and community advancement.

Whether she is performing before an audience, launching a business, creating international opportunities for young leaders, or mobilizing communities to serve, Markeena approaches every endeavor with the same conviction: purpose and passion are most powerful when they create impact.

With new music, a growing fashion brand, an international pop-up tour, and a decade of philanthropic leadership behind her, Markeena Novembre is building a legacy that transcends any single industry.

She isn’t simply making music. She’s creating culture, cultivating community, and inspiring a movement — one soul at a time.
