Career

Kesha was signed to both Kemosabe Records and Prescription Songs in 2005, age 18, and the music publishing company Prescription Songs. Sony Music Entertainment owns Kemosabe Records, which is based in Los Angeles. Kemosabe Records was created by Sony Music Entertainment. Juicy J, Rock City, Zara Larsson, Lil Bibby, and Becky G. Kesha later performed background vocals on Paris Hilton's album, "Nothing in This World." In 2006, Kesha joined DAS Communications Inc., David Sonenberg's administration firm, to work with him. DAS was given the opportunity to sign a major label record for Kesha in exchange for 20 percent of her music, with the possibility of ending the relationship if they failed. She worked with many writers and producers as a writer and producer while at the company and then co-authored "This Love" with producer Toby Gad. Kesha earned her living as a waitress while advancing her education in the studio. She began stylizing her name as 'Ke$ha,' while struggling to get to sleep, describing the dollar sign as an ironic gesture.

Kesha appeared on the video for her friend Katy Perry's album "I Kissed a Girl" and also performed background vocals on Britney Spears' "Lace and Leather" in 2008. DAS soon attracted the attention of singer and A&R Kara DioGuardi, who wanted to sign Kesha to Warner Bros. Due to her current employment with Kemosabe, the transaction fell through. She is accused of resigning from DAS in September this year. Kesha will appear on rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round" in early 2009, which brought her to a lot of mainstream curiosity. The collaboration happened by chance, according to the parties; she had simply stepped into a recording session for the song and Flo Rida seemed to have longed for a female voice on it. Flo Rida loved the performance so much that he recorded one more song with Kesha for his album, according to the company. However, she is not credited for her appearance on "Right Round" in the United States, and she did not receive any money for her appearance. She refused to appear in the video, telling men's newspaper Esquire that she wanted to make a name for herself on her own terms.

Kesha signed a multi-album contract with RCA Records after struggling to reach an understanding with Lava Records and Atlantic Records in 2009. She began adding finishing touches to the album after spending the previous six years working on samples for her debut album. She wrote about 200 songs on the album for the album. By September of this year, it had been a Platinum in the United States and had sold two million albums worldwide. With 610,000 digital downloads sold in a single week, the album's lead single, "Tik Tok," a record for a single week, which was the highest sales week for a female artist since digital download tracking began in 2003. On her debut single since Debby Boone and "You Light Up My Life" in 1977, it spent nine weeks at number one in the country, becoming the longest running number one by a female artist on her debut single. "Tik Tok" has sold over 14 million copies around the world, making it the most popular digital single in history and the top-selling digital single in history by a female solo artist. "Blah Blah Blah," "Your Love Is My Drug," and "Take It Off"), two of the album's top ten hits, with each of them achieving top-ten positions in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Kesha was also featured on two of the top ten singles by singer Taio Cruz and electropop duo 3OH!3.

Kesha's deliberately unpolished aesthetic and juvenile stage persona, which she referred to as her own personal personality "times ten," made her a polarizing figure quickly. Some of her readers found her output to be unscientific, while others felt that she was manufactured and lacking credibility. Kesha's former DAS Communications Inc. executives filed a lawsuit in May 2010 claiming she had postponed the deadline for them to obtain a major record label contract and squeezed them out of their careers. In October, Kesha filed her own lawsuit, citing the California-exclusive Talent Agencies Act and requesting that the California Labor Commissioner declare her DAS void because it had acted as an unlicensed labor agent while obtaining her employment in California, where only licensed agents can do so. The lawsuit was settled in 2012 before the introduction of her second album. On June 16, 2010, Kesha held a benefit concert, where all proceeds went to help victims of the 2010 Tennessee floods in her hometown, Nashville. She raised over $70,000 from the event.

Animal was re-released in November 2010 with the addition of Cannibal, a companion extended play. The lead single from Cannibal, "We R Who We R," debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Kesha has been named as the country's best-performing artist of the year by two number one's and four top ten hits (among them her featured spot on 3OH!3's "My First Kiss"), with "Tik Tok" rated as the country's best-selling song of the year. The follow-up single from Cannibal, "Blow," also ranked in the top ten on the Hot 100. Kesha had sold almost 21 million digital single downloads in the United States alone by June 2011. Kesha Tour, the Get Sleazy Tour, began in February 2011 and was the first headlining world tour. Due to the first leg's success and spanning three continents, the tour was extended with a summer leg. Kesha co-wrote the song "Until the World Ends" for American pop star Britney Spears and appeared on the album's remix alongside Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj.

Kesha was appointed by Humane Society of the United States as the country's first global ambassador for animal rights, for which she is expected to draw attention to such activities as cosmetics testing on animals and shark finning. The Humane Society named Kesha as a celebrity or public figure who raises concerns about animal rights on social media. At the 2013 Genesis Awards Benefit Gala, she received the award on March 23, 2013.

Max Martin's album included performances as well as a song by Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of the alternative band The Flaming Lips. After learning that she was a fan of the band, Coyne had to fly to Kesha for a collaboration. They produced the album "2012 (You Must Be Upgraded)" for the band's album, The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends (2012), besides working on Kesha's album. Kesha published illustrated autobiography My Crazy Beautiful Life through Touchstone Books in November 2012 to coincide with the album's launch. "Die Young" was Warrior's first single. The song debuted at number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and then peaked at number two at number two. The song has also charted around Europe and the English-speaking world, and it has ranked in Australia, Canada, and Belgium among the top ten.

The album's second single, "C'Mon," debuted at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first single to do so, and the artist's string of top ten hits on the charts. Despite this, "C'Mon" continued Kesha's string of top-ten hits (with nine) on the Mainstream Top 40 Pop Songs chart, which was also graphed by Billboard. The Warrior Tour, which would sell the album, began in July 2013. Pitbull, an American rapper, was co-headlined for the North American leg.

Kesha sued producer Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery, sexual assault, gender assault, physical assault, discrimination, and breach of California company rules that had existed for more than ten years working together in October 2014. The case lasted nearly a year before Kesha requested a provisional injunction to ban her from Kemosabe Records. Justice Shirley Kornreich, a New York Supreme Court Justice, refused to accept this petition on February 19, 2016. Kornreich dismissed the lawsuit on April 6, 2016, saying that even if the charges of sexual assault were true, the five-year statute of limitations had run out on the two most specific rape charges, one in 2005 and the other in 2008.
