Kiesza Szösi[1], better known as simply Kiesza, is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Calgary[2] who has most recently worked out of New York City[3][4][5] and London.[6][7] She is best known for her debut single Hideaway, which will be released in April 2014.

Personal life

Kiesza was born in Calgary.[4] When she was 16 she took part in the Sail and Lifetime Training Society (SALTS) program[2] and a year later she joined the reserves[8] of the Royal Canadian Navy along with her brother,[9] with whom she became a code breaker.[2][9] Whilst at that,[2] she also entered the Miss Universe Canada pageant.[5][9] She attributes her time in the Navy as a reason why, in 2008, she gave away 4,500 CDs to Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan.[1][2]

Kiesza took part in the Young Canadians, performing tap and jazz dancing, as well as theatre.[1] When Kiesza was 18, she says that her parents' divorce caused her to write her first song, as a way of expressing her feelings.[2] The same year, she heard a song of hers played on the radio.[9]

Music career

Early beginnings

CKUA Folk Routes host Tom Coxworth selected her to perform for a live audience and to be broadcast live on his radio show.[2] Kiesza obtained a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston.[9] After attending Berklee, she went to New York City to advance her music career.[9] Although Kiesza started as mainly a folk singer,[9] after attending Berklee and then living in New York, she moved to a more "uptempo sound"[9] for which she works with producer Rami Samir Afuni.[4] In 2010 she was selected to play at the Canada Day celebrations at Trafalgar Square in London for 30,000 people.[9][10]

2014–present: Hideaway

In February 2014 Kiesza released the video for her new single "Hideway" through the indie label Lokal Legend.[3] Idolator considered it unique, for having a single take through the entire video, as Kiesza walked through the streets of Brooklyn.[3] John Gentile of Rolling Stone called the style "impressive".[11] Kiesza reported to Rolling Stone that she had trouble making the video, partly because she broke a rib just before filming, and "couldn't move for an entire month afterward."[11] It was premiered by Annie Mac on her Mac's Special Delivery segment on BBC Radio 1.[7][12] Spotify ranked the single as the #2 "most viral track" in the UK for the week March 24–30, 2014.[13]
