Kelis Followers and statistics on 5 networks

Kelis is an American singer and songwriter who grew up in Harlem, New York, and first came to prominence singing the hook on a hit by Ol' Dirty Bastard. Her work sits in R&B & soul, with a boundary-pushing sound that has drawn on hip hop, electronic music and pop over the years. She has released six albums, won Brit, Q and NME Awards, and received two Grammy nominations.

Her most recent album, Food, was made with a live band and horn section and has a rootsy, raw and soulful sound without feeling retro. The title reflects a second career in the kitchen: she trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bordon-style culinary school Le Cordon Bleu, works as a farmer and is interested in ethnobotany and herbalism. She is the founder of Bounty & Full, a food and lifestyle venture, and has also put her name to other entrepreneurial and design projects. Her online presence mixes music with recipes, cooking and glimpses of daily life, in a United States context but with an audience far beyond it.
