Kiesza Biography

Kiesza is a singer-songwriter from Calgary and is also an in-demand songwriter for acts across the globe, puts together her own stunning artwork, is a trained ballerina and a former tall-ship sailor who the Army once attempted to train as a sniper.

Kieszaā€™s first songs had a distinctly folky edge, but her writing would soon expand to other genres. After recording a few demos with a friend, she decided to submit a CD to Selkirkā€™s music school, before setting sail for Hawaii. Upon arrival in Hawaii, she received a call saying she was accepted without an audition or interview. Kiesza left Hawaii, and after a year at Selkirk received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston.

After attending Berklee, she went to New York City to advance her music career. One professor knew Kiesza had a rare skill and put her in touch with recent graduate Rami Samir Afuni. The well-paired duo started experimenting with music and songwriting, and still does to this day. Kieszaā€™s transition from folk to her new evolving sound has developed naturally, as she idolized Michael Jackson when she was younger, and grew up listening to dance-floor dominating voices like Martha Wash, CeCe Peniston and Robin S. More recently, Disclosure and Hot Natured have been added to her musical influences, as well as nights spent dancing at New Yorkā€™s Body & Soul events.

In January 2014, "Hideaway" was released by Ramiā€™s own Lokal Legend label and soon after Kiesza moved to London. The track was recorded in just over an hour; just before Kiesza was due to get on a flight. The songā€™s video was shot in one-take on the streets of Brooklyn, and showcases Kieszaā€™s attention-grabbing dance moves.

There are no half measures for Kiesza. A committed artist whose extraordinary ambition is matched only by her unusual clarity of vision and overwhelming talent, this former queen of the high seas has spent years plotting a course to the epicenter of pop. In 2014 her voyage is just beginning, and everyone is welcome along for the ride.
