Kesha wants to shake up the music scene with her new record company.
The “JOYRIDE” hitmaker’s career was halted in 2014 amid a series of lawsuits between herself and her former music producer Dr. Luke, real name Lukasz Gottwald.
Kesha recently dropped a new single, “JOYRIDE,” via her self-titled label, Kesha Records, and during an interview for Forbes published on Wednesday, she insisted that she’s just getting started when it comes to making her mark on the industry.
“I started my own record company and I am coming to change the world, honey, so just hold on tight – keep writing songs,” she declared. “It’s really f**ked up that in this country, you can lose the rights to your voice but you will never lose the rights to your truth and the truth will set you free. I’m working really hard to change everything in my power in this world, so that never happens to anyone ever again.”
Kesha also has plans to build a “space space” for artists.
“I’m really excited for Kesha Records to expand and grow in all the ways that people would think, but also in unexpected ways because I’m currently looking into the tech space and I’m looking to find partners who have the values that I align with,” the 37-year-old explained. “So, in addition to the traditional record label model, I’m also looking to the future and I’m looking for some really creative, boundary-pushing, innovative tech creators that want to change how the music business works and bring a new level of transparency to the whole business.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Kesha noted that she has been thrilled by the positive response to “JOYRIDE.”
