Kiesza is a fascinating pop polymath whose music is as colourful, diverse and surprising as the twists and turns that led her where she is today.
Inspired by epic nights out at NYC hotspots like Body & Soul and Libation, this Calgary-born 25-year-old’s debut album Sound Of A Woman is packed with deep house grooves and shimmering soulful melodies, but Kiesza is also an in-demand songwriter for acts across the globe, puts together her own stunning artwork, is a trained ballerina, and former tall-ship sailor who the Army once attempted to train as a sniper.
In 2014 she kicked things off in style with her debut single, the blistering anthem “Hideaway” which rocketed to the #1 spot in the UK charts was one of the fastest-selling debuts of the year. “Hideaway” is two-times Platinum in Canada, was a #1 All-Format Canadian single at radio, spent eight consecutive weeks at #1 on the Shazam Top 200 and snagged the #1 spot in 21 countries on iTunes.. The song’s distinctive video was shot on the streets of Brooklyn, and showcases Kiesza’s attention-grabbing dance moves.
