KESHA


Kesha Rose Sebert, better known as Kesha, became known in the early 2009 after appearing on Flo Rida's number one single "Right Round". Her debut single, "Tik Tok", was released in August 2009 and reached number one in five countries and set the female weekly download record in the US. Her debut album, Animal, was released in early 2010 and debuted at number one in the US. Kesha was born in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles to a single parent. Her mother was a singer and songwriter. She often brought Kesha and her brothers, Lagan and Luis, along to recording studios and encouraged Kesha to sing and taught her how to write songs. They still co-write songs together. At the age of 17 she dropped out of high school, after being convinced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin to return to Los Angeles and pursue a music career. She also had the opportunity to sing background for Paris Hilton's single, "Nothing in this World" and for Britney Spears' song "Lace and Leather", and appeared in the video for Katty Perry's single "I Kissed a Girl". Kesha described her dress sense as "garbage-chic" to Entertainment Weekly and named Keith Richards as her fashion inspiration. When asked about being a role model, Kesha said that people could look up to her in some aspects, but not everything. "I do think it’s an important thing that happiness and the amount of money you have are mixed. There’s absolutely no correlation, because the happiest times of my entire life have been when I didn’t have $2."
