Harlem-bred vocalist Kelis left her parents' home at 16, but continued her education at the famed Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. 2 years later with the support of producers The Neptunes, she landed herself a recording deal.
In mid-1999, Kelis was singing alongside rap troublemaker Ol’ Dirty Bastard on his cut "Got Your Money," and her signature technicolor-spiraled afro and colorful style sparked critics' interests. Kelis captured feminist desires on her debut album Kaleidoscope, released in December 1999.
Two years later she released Wanderland exclusively in Europe, Asia and Latin America. 2003's Tasty followed and yielded the Top Ten hit "Milkshake," a Neptunes production. In 2006, her fourth album Kelis Was Here, was released through Jive, led by the duly assertive "Bossy."
Kelis has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry having recorded with willl.i.am, Bjork, Outkast, Raphael Sadaaq, Moby, Enrique Iglesias and Basement Jaxx to name a few.
The flamboyant singer is now working on her next album with producers such as David Guetta, Burnz, DJ Ammo, Boys Noize, Diplo/Switch, Benny Benassi and Free School to name a few. Catch Kelis in her one-night only gig with chart-topping hits like “Milkshake”, “Acapella”, “Trick Me” and “Bossy”.
