Kesha's family also hostedNicole RichieandParis Hiltonin an episode ofThe Simple Life, as the show was looking for "eccentric" households for the girls to visit. Kesha later stated that she felt like an outcast at school, as she often wore homemade clothes and dyed her hair. That being said, she joined the marching band and achieved extremely high SAT scores. Despite dropping out of school at 17, she was accepted into Barnard College.

Kesha Rose Sebert was born on March 1st, 1987, in Los Angeles. Kesha was born into a musical family, as her mother was a singer-songwriter. Known as Rosemary "Pebe" Sebert, Kesha's mother co-wrote the 1978 hit single "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You" for Joe Sun. Although her mother experienced some success as a musician, she struggled financially while raising Kesha and her brother. Kesha has stated that her father wasn't in the picture during her upbringing, but a man claiming to be her father later came forward and insisted he had been in regular contact with her throughout her childhood.

At age 16, Kesha and her mother co-wrote the song "Stephen" that would later appear on her debut album. Kesha convinced a producer to produce the song for her not long after she wrote it. Eventually, her demo reel fell into the right hands, and she caught attention for her rapping abilities, of all things. At 17, Kesha dropped out of high school to pursue a career in Los Angeles. When she was 18, she was signed by Kemosabe Records, and one of her first jobs was to sing background vocals for Paris Hilton's track "Nothing in This World."

In 1991, the family moved to Nashville after Kesha's mother signed a songwriting deal with a publisher. From a young age, Kesha accompanied her mother to recording studios. After displaying her vocal talents, Kesha's mother encouraged her to sing. As time went on, Kesha's mother also taught her daughter how to write songs. When Kesha started to record demos, her mother would pass them on to people she knew in the industry.

She then signed with a management company, telling them that she would end the business relationship if they didn't get her a record deal in one year. While waiting, she collaborated with a number of prominent artists, includingBritney SpearsandKaty Perry. One year came and went, and she severed ties with her management company.

Known for her wholly unique, striking image and musical style, Kesha has created numerous albums that have performed extremely well. Many have reached the top spots on the charts. As of this writing, Kesha has sold more than 71 million albums in the United States and more than 134 million globally.
