In mid-1999, Kelis was singing alongside rap troublemaker Ol’ Dirty Bastard on his cut “Got Your Money,” and her signature Technicolor-spiraled afro & colorful style sparked critics’ interests. Kelis captured feminist desires on her debut album Kaleidoscope, released in December 1999. Two years later she released Wanderland exclusively in Europe, Asia and Latin America. 2003’s Tasty followed and yielded the Top Ten Neptunes produced hit “Milkshake.” In 2006, her fourth album, Kelis Was Here, was released and led by the duly assertive “Bossy.” Kelis has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry – having recorded with willl.i.am, Bjork, Outkast, Raphael Sadaaq, Moby, Enrique Iglesias and Basement Jaxx to name a few.
Kelis has been busy working on her next album with producers such as David Guetta, Burnz, DJ Ammo, Boys Noize, Diplo/Switch & Free School to name a few. The yet to be titled album is slated for release in 2010 on will.i.am/Interscope Records… read less

Kelis Shows Off Her Recent Culinary Training At Private Belvedere Vodka Dinner In Miami
Last night musician Kelis hosted a dinner presented by Belvedere Vodka to celebrate the launch of her upcoming album Flesh Tone and to reveal her unknown passion, cooking. Held in a private bungalow at the W South Beach, Kelis welcomed guests including Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine, DJ Benny Benassi, DJ Rashida, Chicago Bears player Adewale Ogunieye, Kansas City Chiefs player Thomas Jones, DJ/musician Calvin Harris, Burns, Jack Splash and more, to try the menu she created and prepared herself. Kelis told her guests that awhile back she decided to take a step away from music and went to culinary school, where she found her a new love, cooking. Kelis is now on top of both of her games— music and cooking— and together they made a night to remember. In addition to the delicious food, which Benny Benassi and others raved about, guests were the first to hear Kelis’ new album while sipping Belvedere cocktails.
