In honor of Kesha's 32nd birthday as well as the start of Women's History Month, I thought I'd start off with this autobiography.
The autobiography begins with Kesha at the Galapagos Islands, with only a notebook and a pen. As she stares out at the ocean, she writes the first word that comes to mind: Warrior.
She goes into some detail with her early life; her mother and older brother were the main inspirations for her when it came to music and songwriting, but plenty of rock musicians between the 1960s and the 1980s helped too. Working her way to achieve her dream, she had to move from Nashville to LA and work many side-jobs before getting an uncredited appearance in Flo Rida's "Right Round", and even later making her big hit "Tik Tok". She calls back to her most memorable tours, from Manchester to Budapest to Rio, closing with the Galapagos Islands and the many thanks to her friends, family, and fans.
I've had some mixed views with this book; I loved the photography (her brother Lagan did a good job with a lot of them). However, this book was published in 2012, prior to her admiting that her producer then was a corrupt and horrible person to her, so I was REALLY unnerved by the only-positive bits she writes about him.
Personally, I'm just glad she left that studio and has improved overall as a result.
