Kesha Launches New Platform "Smash" for Music Creators

Kesha has launched "Smash", a new community platform where music creators connect, collaborate and hire each other and retain rights to whatever they create.

“My goal is to shift the power structure of the music making business in favor of the creators,” Kesha said. “I signed a predatory deal when I was 18 and then spent more than a decade fighting to regain rights to my voice and image. When I finally gained my freedom I realized the fight wasn’t over. I want to make sure what happened to me never happens to anyone else again."

Smash was co-founded by CEO Kesha Sebert, CTO Alan Cannistraro and COO Lagan Sebert alongside a team of music industry and tech veterans. 

Its core mission aims to give creators access to the professional community they need to make music without the need to fight for ownership over what they create.

To celebrate the announcement of Smash, Kesha is inviting creators to take part in an exclusive remix challenge for her acclaimed new single, “Boy Crazy.” 

The participants signing up to the official Smash email list at smashmusic.io will receive stems for “Boy Crazy,” and then have a week to rework it. 

The best remix will then be personally selected by Kesha and officially released on Kesha Records later this summer.
