Kesha Rose Sebert is an American singer better known by her stage name Kesha. The artist's significant "breakthrough" came after she appeared on Flo Rida's hit Right Round (2009). Then she got a contract with the RCA label and released the first Tik Tok single.
It was after him that she became a real star, which they began to talk about. The debut album Animal reached the top of the charts after its release in January 2010. The second album Warrior was released in 2012. In 2014, Kesha began her legal battle with producer Dr. Luke due to allegations that she was sexually assaulted and he harassed her.
The early life of the singer Kesha
Kesha Rose Sebert was born March 1, 1987 in Los Angeles, California. She was introduced to music at an early age through her mother Pebe, who was also a songwriter. Her mother's significant success was in songwriting - "The Old Flame Can't Hold a Candle", which became a hit for Jo Sun and Dolly Parton.
The first few years of Kesha's life were a struggle for her family. It was difficult for her mother to earn enough to support Kesha and her older brother. “We were on social and food stamps,” the singer explained on her website.
"One of my first memories is my mom telling me, 'If you want something, just do it.'" When Kesha was 4 years old, she moved to Nashville with her family. There, her mother signed a songwriting contract.
Sometimes with her mother, Kesha spent a lot of time in recording studios in her early teens. Her mother encouraged her interest in singing, allowing Kesha to work on some of her compositions.
Later, the singer also went to a music school, where she learned about songwriting. Deep in the heart of the country scene, she was inspired by the likes of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline.
The beginning of the singer's career Kesha
At the age of 17, Kesha left school to pursue a career in music. She changed her name to Kesha and moved to Los Angeles to work with producer Dr. Luke. He has worked on hit singles for Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson.
Kesha "broke" into show business. She paid a gardener to break into the music legend's home so she could leave one of her compositions for him (according to one story). She also performed several concerts as a backing vocalist, performing songs by Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. But her big break came after she appeared on rapper Flo Rida's hit Right Round. She told Allure magazine that she wasn't upset about not getting paid for the song. “You have to pay your dues,” she explained.
Commercial breakthrough
Shortly after working with Flo Rida, Kesha received a record contract with the RCA label. She released the first Tik Tok single later that year. The party anthem developed very quickly. It soon became one of the most downloaded songs in America. It then reached the top of the Billboard pop chart in January 2010.
The singer has attracted many young fans. Kesha has been criticized for some of the lyrics, especially those dealing with alcohol and "partying". “I am not a nanny,” the singer said. “Their parents are responsible for taking care of them, not me.” For the artist, life is a source of inspiration for her songs. "I'll go out with my friends and hang out as much as I want... I'm not ashamed to write about it."
Her debut album Animal reached the top of the charts upon its release in January 2010. In addition to Tik Tok, Kesha received two more top 10 hits, Blah Blah Blah and Your Love Is My Drug.
This work was accompanied by an extended game release of Cannibal. She continued her initial success with Warrior (2012), which featured the single Die Young. A companion extended work, Deconstructed, was released in 2013.
Scandal with the producer
Kesha experienced personal problems during 2014. In January, she was treated for an eating disorder.
Kesha later filed a lawsuit against producer Dr. Luke. She stated that he subjected her to sexual harassment and abuse among other people. Dr. Luke sued Kesha and her mother for defamation.
During this difficult time, Kesha was supported by other artists, including Adele and Lady Gaga. Taylor Swift even donated $250 to the young singer following a court decision in February 2016. It refused to grant Kesha an injunction that would have released her from her contract with Dr. Luke at Sony Music.
While the court denied Kesha's request, it is clear that Sony Music tried to remedy the situation. A company lawyer told the New York Times that "Sony allowed Kesha to record without involvement or interaction with Dr. Luke, but Sony is unable to terminate the contractual relationship between Dr. Luke and Kesha".
Kesha's personal life
Kesha is a tough environmentalist and benevolent servant. She was constantly for homosexuals and performed their marriage ceremonies several times.
When asked about her own sexuality, there was no direct answer from her. She said that love has nothing to do with gender, and she loves everyone equally.
Kesha suffers from a serious eating disorder. And constantly gaining and losing weight for years, since she was in the spotlight.
She also said that Dr. Luke is one of the causes of her eating disorder. Since he was talking to her about losing weight when they worked together. The singer was in rehab in order to cure this disorder.
In May 2017, Kesha's net worth was $9 million. And as a result of constant legal battles against Dr. Luke she lost a significant amount of money.
Now she again has problems with weight, but her beloved Brad still appreciates her not for curvaceous. Brad Ashenfelter doesn't care how much his lover weighs.
The couple was relaxing on the beach together, and Brad literally did not leave Kesha: he hugged her, gently wiped her with a towel after bathing ... By the way, young people have been together for more than four years. Ashenfelter is not associated with show business.
