Meet Kesha’s mum, songwriter Pebe Sebert: from crafting hits for Miley Cyrus and Miranda Cosgrove to backing her daughter’s legal battles with Dr Luke … but what was that Jeffrey Dahmer lyric about?
Her pop-star aspirations were derailed when her husband dumped her and she resorted to drug abuse to dull the heartbreak … but Sebert has managed to turn her life around
Sebert and Kesha were both sued by Dr Luke and Sebert’s resilience has shown that her role in Kesha’s life extends far beyond music. From co-writing hits such as “Your Love is My Drug” to standing strong during Kesha’s darkest moments, Sebert has shaped not only her daughter’s career, but also her own legacy.
Per the Daily Mail, Sebert is a mother of three – Lagan, 43, Kesha, 37 and Louie, 24. Lagan was born during Pebe’s marriage to country singer Hugh Moffat, while Kesha was conceived later, with no knowledge of her father’s identity. Sebert later adopted her youngest child, Louie.
