BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac featured Kiesza's new single 'Hideaway' as her 'Special Delivery' this evening - unheard of for a new artist - and it's already been receiving huge club support from the likes of Route 94, The Magician and Tensnake.

Inspired by epic nights out at NYC hotspots like Body & Soul, her debut EP 'Hideaway' is packed with deep house grooves and shimmering pop melodies.

Top it all off with an unexpectedly moving version of Haddaway's 'What Is Love?' and you've got a fascinating polymath whose music is as colourful, diverse and surprising as the twists and turns that led her where she is today.

Having only recently turned her hand to writing songs, 25 year old Kiesza is a trained ballerina who spent her teens in the Navy, where her shooting skills had such precision the Army tried to recruit her as a sniper; instead, Kiesza sailed to Hawaii then stumbled in to competing in Miss Universe Canada.
