The Harlem bred vocalist who has taken the world of music by storm left her parents' home at 16 but continued her education at the famed Fiorello H. La Guardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Just two years later aided by the support of producers The Neptunes, Kelis landed herself a record deal and the rest certainly was history as by mid-1999 the vocalist was singing alongside rap troublemaker Ol' Dirty Bastard on his cut Got Your Money and her signature technicolour spiralled afro and colourful style sparked critics and interests and saw her popularity, recognisability and demand grow exponentially.
The hugely talented singer did an extraordinary job of capturing feminist desires on her debut album Kaleidoscope and the success not only changed her career but also her life as she became a globally renowned and instantly recognisable performer. Just a couple of years later the Champions Music and Entertainment performer released Wanderland exclusively in Europe, Asia and Latin America before going on to record 2003's Tasty which followed and yielded the Top Ten Neptunes produced hit Milkshake.
