** When she graduated, she was approached about going onto sniper training. ''They've never allowed a female to be a sniper in Canada before''. It was never official partly for that reason, but think about it — she could have ended up setting a precedent. She didn't pursue the opportunity because she didn't like the idea of killing someone she'd never met, and who couldn't see her, for reasons she just had to ''trust'' were good.

Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Kiesza learned tap dancing and jazz dancing while growing up, and even attempted ballet, until [[GameBreakingInjury a knee injury]] put an end to that. She also joined the Royal Canadian Navy in her teenage years alongside her brother, and became a codebreaker. She wrote her first song at 18, after her parents split up. Briefly, she was into folk music, but she abandoned that once she partnered up with producer and songwriting partner Rami Samir Afuni.

She released the retro-sounding [[HouseMusic house]] track “Hideaway” in February 2014, through indie label Lokal Legend.
