Ke$ha is an American singer-songwriter who first came to prominent attention due to a collaboration with Flo Rida that went to No. 1 and sold over 600,000 copies - that was 'Right Round.' Ke$ha's mother was a singer songwriter who managed to etch out a living..barely sometimes..however it cemented Ke$ha's passion in life to be a rock and roll star at the early age of five. Growing up in studios, being on stage and songwriting was her sense of youth normalcy - she quotes "I thought everyone grew up in a recording studio." Storytelling quickly became a talent that stood out with Ke$ha which she has crafted in a rather unique and unconvential style. She talks about all the things teens do and face yet there is a surreal sense of hardship, emotion and somewhat cynism behind it. The cynism is her way of being honest and true while maintaining some larger meaning underneath. It also underlies hard times in her life where she and her mother faced a hard reality - "We were on welfare and food stamps," Kesha says, "One of my first memories is my mom telling me, 'If you want something, just take it.'" In the end, this has transformed her survival mode and fleeting dreams to determination and reality which sees her high-octane punk energy reigning itself down on society.

This month MTV is most proud to feature Ke$ha as our PUSH artist. We invited her into our London studios to record her most recent hits LIVE plus we sat down with her to see what lies in store for this fairytale book underdog starlet.
