Sugah was composed of Tweet, Susan Weems, and Rolita White, and was a part of Devante Swing's Swing Mob collective. In the early nineties, Tweet joined the female trio Sugah, leaving her daughter with her parents in Panama City, Florida, while Tweet relocated to many places.

In 1990, at the age of 18, Tweet gave birth to her daughter, Tashawna. Tweet's first steps into a career in the music industry first began when she enrolled in Rochester's School of the Arts. Among them, the five children mastered instruments such as the piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, and many more.Īs a young girl, Tweet was inspired not only by her family, but also by larger-than-life divas like Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston (whom she later worked with). The youngest child of Tom and Shirley Keys, Tweet was born in Rochester, New York on January 21, 1972, and grew up singing in the church alongside her parents and her four older siblings (three brothers, Tom, Cedric and Lonnie, and one sister, Sundra).
