A former Navy sniper in training, ballet dancer and beauty queen, Calgary-raised Kiesza is unique. She wrote for Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson, worked with Duran Duran and collaborated with Skrillex, Pitbull and Diplo. Her debut album, Sound of A Woman, sold more than a million copies. The two-time JUNO Award winner was recording with an opera singer and the producer Stuart Price (Madonna, The Killers) when, in 2017, she vanished overnight.
Hit by a taxi in her adopted hometown of Toronto in the summer of 2017, Kiesza initially thought she had escaped lightly with just a bang to the head and a busted wrist. It wasn’t until the following day that her head began to swell and the balance on the left side of her body went. Tests revealed that electrical pathways to one side of her brain had shut down and the following years meant a grueling road to recovery for Kiesza.
2020 marks a rebirth for Kiesza. After spending 2 years recovering from her injuries Kiesza is now back and ready to embrace the female pop landscape with her recent single ‘All of the Feelings’ and "Crave".
