Kesha and Solgaard Release a Limited-Edition Accessory and Speaker Collection for Summer Joyrides

by

Kesha has always been unafraid to express herself boldly, and she uses her numerous creative ventures and musical endeavors as outlets for this expression. However, it is her deep passion that truly drives her ambitions. Apart from music, a significant passion of hers is the ocean. In fact, she even earned an advanced diving certification due to her profound love for whales and marine conservation. This unusual interest led to a seamless collaboration with Solgaard’s CEO: the creation of the Joyride collection, a unique collaboration between the two.

Adrian Solgaard, the head honcho at a versatile accessory brand, is a pioneer in ocean plastic reduction and sustainable business strategies, along with luxury accessory design with an eco-friendly twist. His passion for this cause was ignited following a surfing adventure in Bali, where he witnessed the alarming amount of plastic pollution firsthand. To date, his company has successfully prevented over 3 million pounds of ocean plastic from entering our waterways. The brand’s founder had the serendipitous opportunity to collaborate with pop sensation Kesha following her musical comeback in 2024, and this project turned out to be an inspiring fit for both parties.

Kesha shared that her brother served in the Peace Corps in Honduras, during which time she obtained her scuba diving certification while visiting him. This newfound passion for diving has led her to travel extensively, exploring underwater wonders from South Africa to the Galapagos. As an ardent shark diver, she has been vocal about her wish to prohibit shark finning. Her love for marine life grew as she recognized the intricate connections between nature and ocean life, leading her to become more dedicated to protecting it and advocating for ocean conservation. Oh, and by the way, she’s a Pisces three times over!

Solgaard agreed with the star’s viewpoint, emphasizing that eco-friendly products are a crucial aspect of their brand. He explained that utilizing sustainable materials requires additional effort and knowledge, and can sometimes be more costly, but it’s still the right choice. He went on to say, “Making purchases that you feel good about is a form of luxury.” Solgaard further added that for every item they sell, they remove six pounds of plastic from the environment. In other words, by owning well-made, thoughtfully designed products that have a positive environmental impact, one can experience a sense of luxury.

The Joyride line merges high-end aesthetics with cutting-edge eco-friendly technology. Since Kesha serves as the inspiration for this collection, it undoubtedly embodies a fearless spirit and incorporates hints of pop art. The tagline, “Joyride,” is the name of the artist’s initial single from her latest album – which you might recognize by its pronunciation, Period.


The pop star’s musical endeavor blends timeless pop influences from various decades with a musically inspired accessory collaboration that evokes nostalgia too. The collection showcases items such as the Solgaard x Kesha Joyride vegan leather mini tote, available in a neutral color scheme highlighting the partnership’s slogan. This bag boasts a custom-designed pocket suitable for the restricted-edition Solgaard x Kesha Joyride Solarbank Boombox, which can be recharged using its innovative pocket – emphasizing both Kesha and Solgaard‘s commitment to sustainability.

Kesha immersed herself in the creative stage, expressing, “A significant part of my motivation for designing the Joyride bag stemmed from a conversation I had with Adrien. During our chat, I mentioned that I yearned for a stylish bag where I could play my fresh tunes. He assured me he could effortlessly address this issue.

Speaking further about the design of our collection, Solgaard expressed, “I’ve always been passionate about blending contemporary technology with classic aesthetics. I often question the idea that ‘style trumps function.’ Instead, I believe in harmonizing both aspects. Collaboration is where I find my creative zen, and working with the talented and innovative Kesha was a thrilling experience. Her song ‘Joyride’ symbolizes freedom – of mind, body, and spirit. This collaboration provided an opportunity to celebrate this new phase in her career, and our accessories collection embodies this newfound freedom, which mirrors Solgaard’s business philosophy that embraces location independence and the comfort of home away from home.

Adrian and I have numerous shared passions in our lives, including a love for exploration, creation, and enhancing life’s beauty while promoting awareness about the ocean. I admire Solgaard’s commitment to crafting luggage and bags from recycled ocean plastics. May this bag provide people with the liberty to follow their heart’s desires wherever their journey leads them,” the singer concluded.

The Solgaard x Kesha Solarbank Boombox functions as a versatile 3-in-1 device, combining Bluetooth speaker, power bank, and solar charger capabilities. Its robust exterior, made from recycled polycarbonate, ensures durability while also allowing it to float on water for up to half an hour. This makes it the perfect companion for your summer escapades, whether you’re moving from the car to the beach or even the pool. Regarding its solar features, one hour of sunlight provides approximately two hours of music playtime, ensuring you can maintain a lively atmosphere without fretting over the battery life of the speaker.
