Kesha (Ke$ha) Rose Sebert was born on March 1, 1987 in Los Angeles, Calirfornia. Her debut single "Tik Tok" was released in 2009 and reached number one in over 11 countries and set numerous records including most digital downloads and longest running number one single by a female artist since 1977.

When she was eighteen, Kesha was signed to Dr. Luke's record label. She was featured in Flo Rida's 'Right Round' but refused to appear in the video or be paid for her part. The dollar sign in her name she says is actually suppost to be ironic, "it actually stood for the opposite of putting a lot of emphasis on money."

Soon after, she was signed to RCA Records and her first single debuted shortly after. Her debut album 'Animal' was released in January 2010, which debuted at number one in the US. Rolling stone called it "repulsive, obnoxious and ridiculously catchy."

Kesha has helped in many different charities. She held a benefit concert to aid the victims of the Tenessee floods in 2010. She gave them 1,000 pounds dog food to feed abandoned dogs. She also participated in a Larry King's CNN Telethon for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

She descries her image as 'garbage-chic' with messy hair and smudged make up. She won Best New Artist Of The Year at the Eska Awards, and was nominated for International Video of the year for 'Tik Tok' and Best New Artist.
