Kesha Rose Sebert
Voice Type: Mezzo-Soprano
Vocal Range: C♯3 - C7
{Vocal Summary:}Kesha is a clear mezzo-soprano, infamously known for her use of auto-tune, although she eventually using it so often. Disregarding this, she's often underestimated in her vocal capabilities. She has a solid lower register that she seems comfortable enough in and has used more over the course of her career ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Take It Off", "Nightclubbing"). she's capable of powerful belts, showing the ability to sustain and sing well up into the upper fifth octave ("Who Do You Love", "Meet Me in Space", "True Colors"). In the beginning of her career, her head voice was rather underutilised but she has explored it more following the release of Rainbow in 2017 ("Praying", "Woman"). She can be an inconsistent live performer, occasionally dodging certain notes or lowering the key of a song, but otherwise can often deliver solid performances. Overall, Kesha is a talented singer who is often underestimated.
