• "I could party in a cardboard box with people who are funny and don't care. For me, it's really about who I surround myself with, so I just try to always be with hilarious people." - Kesha

• Kesha (mostly noted as Ke$ha) was born Kesha Sebert on March 1, 1987 in California and raised in Tennessee. In her teens, Kesha began to pursue her music and dropped out of high school to move to LA. Between moving to LA and releasing her debut LP, Kesha had snuck into Prince's home and left a demo tape, sang background for a Britney Spears and Paris Hilton song, co-wrote a track for The Veronicas, and appeared in a Katy Perry video. But her biggest break came with the uncredited appearance on the Flo Rida's #1 hit "Right Round." Kesha then signed with RCA Records and focused on releasing her debut LP. Kesha's reputation was summed up by Rolling Stone describing her as "...here to let the world know that loutish drunkenness and sexual harassment aren't just for fellas anymore."
