Kesha Rose Sebert is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional rapper known for her eclectic pop sound and bold image. Inheriting musical talent from her mother, songwriter Pebe Sebert, Kesha rose to prominence in her early twenties and caught the attention of major music industry players. Her breakthrough came in 2009 when she was featured on Flo Rida’s chart-topping single “Right Round,” which reached No. 1 in several countries. The song brought her widespread attention, though she was not credited as a featured artist. That same year, she released her debut solo single “Tik Tok,” which became a massive international hit and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks. It eventually became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. In 2010, Kesha released her debut studio album ‘Animal’ and the follow-up extended play ‘Cannibal’, both of which produced multiple chart-topping tracks. Her second studio album, ‘Warrior’ (2012), also achieved commercial success, featuring hits like “Die Young.” Beyond her musical accomplishments, Kesha has been actively involved in social activism, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and animal welfare. Her career faced a major challenge when she filed a lawsuit in 2014 against producer Dr. Luke, alleging physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The legal battle significantly impacted her ability to release new music for several years, although she eventually made a powerful comeback with the 2017 album ‘Rainbow’, which was both critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated. Kesha remains a prominent figure in American pop music, with estimated global sales of over 40 million records, not 60 million as previously stated.
