MTV AND KE$HA TEAM UP TO EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO COMBAT BULLYING THROUGH LOVE IS LOUDER SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN KICKING OFF TODAY

KE$HA REVEALS HER OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH BULLYING DURING THE FORTHCOMING SERIES "KE$HA: MY CRAZY BEAUTIFUL LIFE" PREMIERING APRIL 23RD AT 11PM ET/PT ON MTV

New York, April 22, 2013- MTV today announced it has named global pop megastar, Ke$ha (Kesha.MTV.com) to serve as a celebrity ambassador for its Love is Louder campaign, in partnership with The Jed Foundation, which aims to support anyone feeling mistreated, misunderstood or alone. Beginning today, fans can take part in a Love is Louder social media campaign to raise the volume on messages of love and tolerance.

To commemorate the announcement, MTV has just released a never-before-seen clip from the forthcoming series "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," in which Ke$ha comforts one of her bullied fans, after revealing she herself was bullied growing up and throughout her career.

"Bullying impacts the lives of millions of young adults on a daily basis," said Ke$ha. "As someone who's been bullied my entire life, I know first-hand how this type of victimization can destroy lives and relationships. It is imperative that we empower kids and teens to stop bullying."

To kick off the partnership, MTV and Ke$ha are asking her fans to submit photos with the words "Love is Louder" spotlighted prominently via Facebook and Twitter using the #loveislouder hashtag. Ke$ha will hand select her favorite photos which will then be featured at the end of an episode #3 of "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," on May 7 which profiles the bullying she has endured during the course of her career. Additionally, the photos will be featured on Ke$ha's social pages, driving to Love Is Louder as a resource.

Separately, fans can tweet in what they think love is louder than using the #loveislouder hashtag and Ke$ha will retweet some of her favorites. Several fans participating in the photo or twitter contest could also be chosen to attend her upcoming tour (TEAM KESHA- DO WE WANT TO OFFER THIS PRIZING?). In the coming weeks, Ke$ha will share her own Love is Louder photo on her Artists.MTV.com show page.

Love is Louder was started by actress Brittany Snow, The Jed Foundation and MTV to build on the outpouring of support online after the lives of multiple teenagers were lost to suicide in September 2010. This movement strives to amplify the momentum of other inspiring online campaigns and invite anyone who has felt mistreated, misunderstood or isolated into the conversation. We are here to raise the volume around a critical message -- that love and support is more powerful than the external and internal voices that bring us down, cause us pain and make us feel hopeless.

"Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life" is an intimate, no-limits documentary series taking us inside the world of multi-platinum recording artist Ke$ha as she faces the biggest personal and professional challenges of her life. Shot over the course of two years by her filmmaker brother, Lagan Sebert, the series provides unprecedented behind the scenes access to Ke$ha's life and her coming of age as an artist and young woman. The audience views this incredible journey in real time, and because of the sibling bond of trust, and unprecedented access, there are no filters and no walls, it's all real and raw.

With the show having been shot over the course of two years, viewers will actually witness the emotional and physical change that comes with fame. Throughout the series, Ke$ha strives to meet the expectations set by her initial success, while attempting to find love and have normal relationships while also growing more famous. The show explores family bonds, love, friendship, and the passion of an artist expressing herself thru song. "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life" will present a truly authentic perspective on what it's like to be a global pop-sensation in their prime.

"Ke$ha: My Crazy, Beautiful Life" marks the latest in long existing relationship between Ke$ha and MTV, which has included a New Year's eve performance in 2012, appearances on MTV Video Music Awards, 10 on Top, and O Music Awards. During the course of her career, Ke$ha has been nominated for 4 VMA awards including best new artist and best pop video.

Along with Lagan, filmmaker Steven Greenstreet followed Ke$ha with a minimal crew capturing both her most public and intimate moments. Partnering with DiGavision founders and former MTV executives Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley to shape the hundreds of hours of footage, the project was initially developed by Ke$ha and Lagan and produced by Lagan Sebert and Sandra Sampayo's Production Company, Magic Seed Productions (Lagan Sebert, Sandra Sampayo, Steven Greenstreet, and Ted Roach). Executive produced by DR LUKE (Lukasz Gottwald), Jack Rovner, Ken Levitan, Lagan Sebert, and Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley. Prod companies: DiGa Vision, Vector Management and Magic Seed productions.

Ke$ha and Pitbull will team up beginning May 23rd in Boston at the Comcast Center with dates confirmed through June 28th in Tampa, Florida at the Live Nation Amphitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Tickets go on sale beginning Friday, March 29th on LiveNation.com.
