IKia “Babydoll” Jeffries began her music career in her early teens. This Queens New Yorker began earning money performing with hippie icon; Paul Simon. Early in Kia's career she spent a month in Yokohama, Japan with a Harlem based band. This "hustle/networking" attitude lead to her first deal on Epic Records with a 4 girl group named Oscar in the 90's. She even co-wrote three songs on the album release, Spotlight, including one with recording artist Carl Thomas. As her talent and reputatation grew so did her opportunities. Working/studying with Trey Songs' super-producer Troy Taylor, had Babydoll on her way... And... earned her some publishing checks too! She stayed busy singing on hooks, and touring the world with internationally known artists like, Chaka Khan, Biz Markie, The Fushnickins, Wu-Tang Clan, Dj Honda, Dj Funkmaster Flex, and Daryl Hall (Hall & Oats), etc... Back in the states, “Babydoll”, then going by her given name Kia Jeffries, helped form the female group 4Kast.

Harve Pierre, (Bad Boy CEO) was the A&R mastermind behind the successful album Anyweather, where a then unknown Chris Robinson got to shoot his 1st R&B video for "Miss my Lovin". After major touring, and many tv appearances the group disbanded, releasing just the one album. Miss Jeffries was blessed to have written over half of it! With a strong list of accomplishments, her passion for music, and a powerful bunch of industry mentors, Babydoll has always been more than ready!
To date she is probably best known for singing the hook and verse on Akinyele’s hip-hop anthem “Put It In Your Mouth” (Loud Records). The song was one of the hotest songs in the streets and had the radio stations around the country going crazy. Since then God has put it on her heart to open a women's sanctuary in the Atlanta area. Ms. Jeffries has re-invented herself using her celebrity status on Radio & Reality TV to shed light on her causes. She is the "Praise Team" director at Be Encouraged Ministries sharing her musical blessing with the church while energizing the youth ministry. Their radical message is so necessary in these crazy times. With distinctive in your face lyrics, and with a style that is soulful "street-pop", Kia is a diva with a great head for business, and a great eye for talent.

I 4Kast.
