Desiree Coleman, also known as Kadesh, is an American vocalist and actress. She was the leading actress in Chloe Kane, a feature film directed by Farzam Salami. She is also the founder of Love Culture Center in Los Angeles, California. Coleman is the ex-wife of former professional basketball player and former head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Mark Jackson.[1] Coleman came on the scene replacing Tisha Campbell in the longest-running off-Broadway musical production of Mama, I Want to Sing!, in 1983.[2] She then played in Bob Fosse's Broadway show Big Deal.[3][4]
Desiree Coleman released a self-titled album in 1988 through Motown. The Kansas City Star said of the album "This album isn't awful, but the next one, if all involved are challenged a little more, should better."[5] She put out the single "Romance" in November 1998[6] and then the track "To Stay Together" was released as a single in early 1989.[7]
Coleman discovered her ability to sing at the age of six. Desiree's mother on hearing her daughter's voice encouraged her to join the St. Luke Baptist Church choir in Queens, New York. During her growing years, she did several commercials and by age fourteen became a part of a community choir called the Soul Searchers of New York City.[8]
In 2006, Coleman recorded a song with WWE called, "Holla", which later became the entrance music for WWE Diva Kelly Kelly.
