Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, known professionally as Kesha, is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper who burst onto the music scene in 2009 with her feature on Flo Rida’s hit single “Right Round.” Born on March 1, 1987, in Los Angeles, California, she was raised in Nashville, Tennessee, by her mother Pebe Sebert, a songwriter who helped nurture Kesha’s musical talent from a young age. She signed with Kemosabe Records and Dr. Luke’s label while still a teenager, eventually releasing her debut single “Tik Tok” in 2009, which became the best-selling digital single of 2010 worldwide.

Her debut album “Animal” (2010) debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and she quickly followed it with the extended play “Cannibal” later that year. Kesha became known for her electropop party anthems, including hits like “We R Who We R,” “Blow,” and “Die Young.” Her second studio album “Warrior” (2012) continued her commercial success, solidifying her place as one of pop music’s most recognizable voices. At her commercial peak, Kesha was earning millions from touring, music sales, and endorsement deals.

In 2014, Kesha’s career took a dramatic turn when she filed a lawsuit against producer Dr. Luke, alleging years of abuse. The legal battle became one of the most high-profile cases in the music industry and sparked widespread conversation about artist rights and the treatment of women in the entertainment business. Despite the personal and professional toll, Kesha eventually released her critically acclaimed third album “Rainbow” in 2017, which debuted at number one and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Kesha continued to rebuild her career with the albums “High Road” (2020) and “Gag Order” (2023), the latter released on her own label after parting ways with Kemosabe Records. She has sold over 71 million records in the United States and has written songs for other artists including Britney Spears and Ariana Grande. Her resilience through personal and legal challenges, combined with her continued creative output, has allowed her to maintain a net worth estimated at $10 million as of 2026.
