Zedd: 'I'm very serious about working with Kesha'
Music producer Zedd is committed to making good on his offer to work with struggling pop star Kesha.
The Tik Tok singer has been embroiled in a sexual assault legal battle with mentor and producer Dr. Luke for quite some time and last month (Feb16), a judge denied her bid to walk away from her recording contract with Luke's Kemosabe Records and parent company Sony Music.
After her court loss, the Grammy Award-winning DJ volunteered to
hit the studio with Kesha.
"very very sorry to hear about the whole situation," he wrote on
Twitter on 22 February (16). "I'll be happy to produce a song for
you if you want my help".
Now, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Zedd confirms it
is likely they'll be creating music together very soon.
"Her team actually hit us back confirming that I was serious about
it, which is really cool," he shares. "I'm obviously very serious
about it, so maybe something will happen. Maybe there's something I
can do. Maybe we can do some music. Nothing I can say right now,
but it would be cool.
"All I know is that she's in a very rough position and if there's
anything I can ever do to help I'll always be happy to do
that."
Zedd has not worked with Kesha before and he is excited about the
prospect of a collaboration.
"I just read an article about (the case), literally right before I
made the tweet because I didn't know her personally," he explains.
"I thought sending a tweet was kind of the best way to get in touch
with her.
"The only thing I can really do to help is produce songs and that's
what I offered."
Kesha received tremendous support from other celebrities after the
heartbreaking court loss - fellow singer Taylor Swift donated
$250,000 to her cause and fun. star Jack Antonoff also offered to
produce new music with her.
