    Kesha’s show should actually be very interesting. She has a long history in music that most people aren’t aware of. She’s been a recording artist and songwriter since she was 15 but didn’t actually get a contract until she was 22. That’s why Youtube is filled with so many unreleased Kesha songs. Most didn’t have any vocal effects either (see Feels Like Rain, Sunday Morning, and While You Were Sleeping as examples). She’s recorded songs for TV show, movies and even an advertising jingle for the CW network. I hope to hear more about her history and her struggle to finally make it.
