Kreesha Turner

Multiple Juno Award nominee Kreesha Turner is a Canadian singer-songwriter. She began her musical career following a successful audition with Virgin Records and signed a record deal with Capitol Music Group, which also owns the Virgin label. EMI Music Canada signed her at the same time in order to further tap into the Canadian market.

Turner has two albums out in Canada. “Bounce With Me,” “Lady Killer,” and “Don’t Call Me Baby” were among the singles from her debut album Passion in 2008. That year, the latter became the most played song by a Canadian on Canadian radio, as well as her first number one single on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart. Turner was nominated for two Juno Awards that year, for “Best New Artist” and “Best Pop Album of the Year.” She changed her public image and style with her second double disc studio album, Tropic Electric in 2011. “Rock Paper Scissors,” “I Could Stay,” and “Love Again” were the three singles from the album. She was again nominated for a Juno Award, this time for “Best R&B Album.”

Turner has been noted for her style and appearance throughout her career. In 2008, she was named to Complex magazine’s “25 Sexiest International Singers You’ve Never Heard Of” list, as well as Much Music’s “Sexiest Girls” list. She’s appeared on the covers of several major Canadian magazines and starred in a national Kit Kat campaign. “Entourage,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Ugly Betty,” “Gossip Girl,” “The Hills,” “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” “Smash,” “Lipstick Jungle,” and “Brothers & Sisters” have all featured her music.
