Kesha (born Kesha Sebert, March 1, 1987) is an American pop-rock singer known for her bold personality, stylistic versatility, and emotional honesty. She rose to global fame in 2009 with the hit Tik Tok, which became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. Successes like Praying and the album Rainbow followed, showcasing her creative depth and resilience, particularly in light of her widely publicized legal battle with her former producer.
In July 2025, she released her sixth studio album, titled . (Period) – her first fully independent project under her own label, Kesha Records. Created in collaboration with producers such as Zhone, Hudson Mohawke, and T‑Pain, the album spans genres from pop, hyperpop, disco, and country to soul. Singles like Joyride, Delusional, Yippee-Ki-Yay (featuring T‑Pain), and Boy Crazy reveal a playful and liberated side of Kesha the world hadn’t seen before. Critics have hailed the album as her “true debut,” full of wit and honesty – The Guardian praised it as a fun and content-rich return to her authentic voice.
She is currently touring with the Tits Out Tour, co-headlining with Scissor Sisters. The tour includes dates across North America and will continue into Europe in 2026. It celebrates themes of freedom, love, and self-acceptance, with theatrical and symbolic moments—such as Kesha tearing off a mannequin head onstage, symbolizing her break from the past.
Now free from former label restrictions, Kesha says she no longer cares what others think and can finally be herself without compromise. She describes this new chapter as a creative rebirth and a kind of miracle, one that has reconnected her with her artistic energy. She also continues to explore bold fashion—often reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s aesthetics—and remains a strong ally of the LGBTQ+ community and a vocal advocate for freedom and equality.
