Kelis is an American music artist and chef. Before her debut, Kelis collaborated with other artists on their albums, including "Fairytalez" with Gravediggaz and "Got Your Money" with Ol' Dirty Bastard. Kelis has released six studio albums, two with Virgin Records: Kaleidoscope (1999), Wanderland (2001), Tasty (2003), Kelis Was Here (2006), Flesh Tone (2010) and Food (2014). After the success of her first album, Kelis commented, "Kaleidoscope was an experiment. I got into the studio, 18 years old. I was angry, I was anxious and waaaaaahhhhh! Whatever came out, came out." A few of her songs have appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, including "Milkshake" which peaked at number three and "Bossy" at number sixteen.
Kelis's only Grammy Award nominations are the two awards for Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the song "Milkshake" in 2004 and Best Contemporary R&B Album for her fourth album "Kelis Was Here" in 2007, but she didn't win either of them. She was nominated for two Billboard Music Awards in 2000, including Best New Artist Video for "Caught Out There". At the New York Music Awards, Kelis won all three nominations that she received, including Best R&B Video and Best Dance Single for "Acapella", and Best R&B Album for "Flesh Tone". Also, she was named the Best Solo Artist at the Glamour Awards in 2004. Overall, Kelis has received 9 awards from 33 nominations.
