After announcing his resignation as the lead singer of 7th Heaven in October 2012, Keith introduced his new band, SEMPLE. With members Johnny Jannotti (formerly of Chasing the Day), Drew Jonhson (formerly of Ordinary Outcasts), Amy Jay (formerly of Cat Fight) and Charley Bredrup (Fletcher Rockwell and The JR Miller Project).

In January 2010, Keith Semple successfully auditioned for the ninth season of American Idol. He was put in the intro to the Chicago episode of the American Idol.

In 2008, Keith Semple moved to the United States and joined Chicago-based rock band named 7th Heaven as their lead singer. This resulted in a critically acclaimed album USA-UK alluding to the co-operation of this UK act in an American band.

With Semple the band released a number of studio and live albums: Medley CD (2007), U.S.A - U.K. (2008), Unplugged (2009), Pop Medley 2 (2009), Medley CD/DVD (2010), Jukebox (2010), Merry Christmas in Chicago (2010) and Pop Media (2011). He left the band in 2012.

One more Top 10 hit followed, in the form of "Shakespeare's (Way With) Words", which reached No. 10 in the UK, in June 2003. A few weeks later it was announced that Daniel Pearce, who as arranger and co-writer of some of their songs had quit the group to pursue a solo career. The next day the group disbanded.

Their debut single, a double A side hit single "Sacred Trust/After You're Gone" went head-to-head with Girls Aloud on 16 December 2002, for the Christmas number one spot. One True Voice lost out to the girls and had to settle for the UK Christmas No. 2 position. The group's manager, Pete Waterman, has speculated that the show was fixed against OTV, but has not said how.[1]. In any case, the single "Sacred Trust/After You're Gone" reached gold record status.
