Singer, songwriter, and now motivational speaker, there really is no stopping R&B force Keri Hilson.

During a recent trip to the UK, Hilson made a surprise visit to specialist music school DV8 in the heart of East London.

There, the Grammy nominee spoke to the students (many of whom wish to break into the music industry) about how she found her footing in the crazy world of showbusiness; offering advice on what to expect, what to avoid, and what to put in, to get out.

That Grape Juice TV documented the inspirational visit. Hit ‘PLAY’ to check it out above.
