Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, known mononymously as Kesha (stylized as Ke$ha during her initial career phase), is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who has left an indelible mark on the music scene with her distinctive vocal style and rebellious pop anthems. Breaking into the spotlight in 2009 with her feature on Flo Rida’s hit "Right Round," Kesha’s subsequent debut single, "Tik Tok," catapulted her to international fame, with it becoming one of the best-selling digital singles in history.

Born on March 1, 1987, in Los Angeles, Kesha’s early years in music were influenced by her singer-songwriter mother, Pebe Sebert, and her time growing up in Nashville, immersed in the city's songwriting tradition. Her career blossomed under music producer Dr. Luke’s label, Kemosabe Records, with her debut album "Animal" and its follow-up EP "Cannibal" producing numerous hits. Kesha’s musical evolution spans electro-pop and dance to rock influences, with albums like "Warrior" and the more introspective "Rainbow" showcasing her versatility and depth as an artist. Her fearless approach to her career and her outspoken nature on social issues, combined with her distinct aesthetic, has garnered her a dedicated fan base, known as "Animals." Despite a tumultuous legal battle with Dr. Luke and a hiatus from music, Kesha rebounded with a powerful comeback, reflected in her more recent work such as the defiant anthem, "Stronger," and her dive into a more intimate acoustic style with "Gag Order (Live Acoustic EP From Space)." Kesha's resilience and musical talents continue to captivate and inspire audiences around the globe.
