About Kesha
Kesha Rose Sebert is an American recording artist signed to RCA records, who has achieved a staggering amount in a very short period of time. Her first chart success was an appearance on the Flo Rida single 'Right Round' in early 2009. Kesha's first single as an artist in her own right, followed, and was remarkably successful. 'Tik Tok' was released on reached the number one spot in five countries. It also broke airplay records in the US, and set new female benchmarks for the amount of downloads in a week.
She followed up this initial success with her debut album, 'Animal,' which was released at the start of 2010, and was an immediate number 1 US hit.
Her tenacity is noted- she is known to have broken into the Beverly Hills home of Prince, to hand him her demo tape. This attempt to win his patronage as a producer was unfruitful for her, but she has worked on many notable stars' music- she sang some backing vocals for Britney Spears, and was in the video for Katy Perry's song 'I Kissed a Girl.' Less impressively, she is also known to have sung backing vocals for Paris Hilton, and in another incident involving a star's home, she vomited in her closet!
Currently, she has turned her attention to the live arena, touring with Calvin Harris and Micky Avalon in the US, as well as playing a gig at Madison Square Garden on December 11 2009. She will be playing in the 2010 relaunch of the Lilith Fair, and has been named as a presenter for this year's Grammy Awards.
