Kiesza

[Pretend 367]

Kiesza is a Canadian singer from Calgary who has most recently worked out of New York City and London.

 

When she was 16 she took part in the Sail and Lifetime Training Society (SALTS) program and a year later she joined the Royal Canadian Navy along with her brother, with which she became a code breaker. Whilst at that, she also entered the Miss Universe Canada pageant. She attributes her time in the Navy as a reason why, in 2008, she gave away 4,500 CDs to Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan.

 

Kiesza took part in the Young Canadians, performing tap and jazz dancing, as well as theatre. When Kiesza was 18, she says that her parents' divorce caused her to write her first song, as a way of expressing her feelings. The same year, she heard a song of hers played on the radio.

 

In February 2014 Kiesza released the video for her new single Hideaway through the indie label "Lokal Legend". Idolator considered it unique, for having a single take through the entire video, as Kiesza walked through the streets of Brooklyn. John Gentile of Rolling Stone called the style "impressive". Kiesza reported to Rolling Stone that she had trouble making the video, partly because she broke a rib just before filming, and "couldn't move for an entire month afterward." The song was released in the UK in April, and debuted at the top of the charts. Giant In My Heart followed, and also reached the top 5. Her debut major label album, Sound of a Woman, will be released October 21st in the US, and November 17th in the UK.

Hope some of y'all like her too, she's kinda my favorite thing right now. Her music is very 90s house inspired. I'm sure you all have heard her hit single "Hideaway":

I mean I mostly agree, but her music is sooo good so idc what she looks like. And if other people can't look past her looks, then they're missing out.
