Ke$ha officially exited from rehab Friday after taking part in a two-month rehabilitation program for an eating disorder. The singer has let all her followers know that she’s doing well and she’s taking the necessary steps to continue her progress.

According to USA Today, Ke$ha is making a lot of changes following her rehab program and one of those changes is to change her name. Yup, you heard it right, the singer is removing the “$” from her name, officially changing it to her birth name, Kesha.

In an earlier report by The Inquisitr, before the singer went by Ke$ha, she was born and named Kesha Rose Sebert. Kesha and her family were originally from Los Angeles, though moved to Nashville when the singer was four years old. She reported developed an interest in singing and songwriting at an early age and it quickly became one of her biggest passions.

“As she developed her talent, she made a decision that would change her life. At the age of 17, Sebert dropped out of school and headed back to Los Angeles to work with producer Dr Luke.”

After working backup with hit artists such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Flo Rida, she finally gained the attention of RCA, who eventually offered her a contract of her own. Kesha’s first single “Tik Tok” was an instant hit, and according to The Inquisitr, it’s still “one of the most downloaded songs in America.”

From there, Kesha became a house hold name, becoming known as the ultimate party animal. And with song titles like “Hungover”, “Party At a Rich Dude’s House” and “Crazy Kids” it’s no wonder she became known as a party girl.
