KE$HA SHOWS OFF HER TIMELY FASHION IN LATEST MUSIC VIDEO WITH CASIO WATCHES

Baby-G Heats Up the Stage in Fashion-Forward ‘We R Who We R’ Video

DOVER, NJ, December 1, 2010 — Casio America, Inc. is proud to announce that its Baby-G BG-1006SA-1 watch is front and center in Ke$ha’s newest music video “We R Who We R.” As the brand ambassador for Casio’s Baby-G line, Ke$ha never shies away from setting trends. Ke$ha is Baby-G’s first female artist brand ambassador to design her own signature Baby-G watches, which will hit stores in Summer 2011. Other artists sporting Casio timepieces in their videos include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Fergie, Jordin Sparks, and Kristinia DeBarge.

Ke$ha amps up the glamour in the music video for “We R Who We R,” by rocking Casio’s BG-1006SA-1 timepiece. “We R Who We R”, is the first single off Cannibal (RCA Records / Kemosabe Entertainment), the highly anticipated companion to her platinum selling debut album Animal, which was released on November 22nd. Consisting of nearly an album’s worth of new songs, it is available for sale separately, as well as bundled with Animal in a special deluxe repackage called Animal + Cannibal. “We R Who We R” has already hit #1 on Billboard’s Top 100 and set a brisk sales pace, moving 280,000 downloads within its first week at retail.

“We are excited to have Ke$ha as our brand ambassador sporting Baby-G through her music video,” said Shigenori Itoh, vice president of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “As a leading force in the fashion and entertainment world, Ke$ha is the perfect blend of street, sport, glamour and edge which Baby-G proudly symbolizes.”

Casio’s BG-1006SA-1 is a fashion-forward timepiece that represents fun, fearlessness and vibrancy. The timepiece has various features, including: four daily alarms, one snooze alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, 12/ 24 hour format and world time in 29 time zones and 48 cities. Constructed with a “protector” design, the BG-1006SA-1sports a combination wire and resin guard that protects the glass and case from whatever life throws its way. The timepiece is available in black, green, pink, orange and silver at an MSRP of $79.

Ke$ha has sold over 2 million copies of her debut album worldwide along with over 17 million tracks and ringtones. “We R Who We R” continues Ke$ha’s impressive run, dominating the Pop charts with ridiculously catchy hit songs like “TiK ToK,” “Blah Blah Blah” and “Your Love Is My Drug.”

The Baby-G brand was developed as the women’s counterpart to the brand’s highly-successful G-Shock brand. The watches are a fun way to add a pop of color and expression to any outfit.

ABOUT KE$HA
2010 has been an incredible year for Ke$ha. Less than 10 months after the No.1 debut of Animal in January 2010, it has been certified platinum and sold over 2 million units worldwide. Ke$ha was nominated for two American Music Awards, Artist of The Year and Pop/Rock – Favorite Female Artist. Her new single, “We R Who We R,” debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ke$ha is the first female artist to debut at that spot since Britney Spears did with “3″ in 2009, and the first artist since Eminem’s debut with “Not Afraid” in May. Also this year Ke$ha became the 11th solo female artist to collect at least four Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s from a debut album when her current single, “Take It Off,” catapulted up the chart. She has sold 14 million combined tracks and ringtones in the U.S. alone to date and 17 million worldwide, including her smash breakthrough single, “TiK ToK,” which has sold over 8.5 million combined units. Animal has been certified gold or platinum in six markets and is the biggest selling debut album from an international female in 2010 in the UK. Ke$ha, who was just nominated for two EMAs, has sold nearly 4 million tracks outside of the U.S. and nearly 1 million albums.

ABOUT TAIO CRUZ
Born in London to a Nigerian lawyer father and a Brazilian mother, Taio (pronounced “tie-o”) Cruz is one of the biggest stars to emerge from the U.K. in years. When “Break Your Heart,” the first single from his Mercury/IDJMG debut, Rokstarr, climbed to No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, with more than 300,000 copies downloaded in one week, it made history with the biggest ever jump to No.1 by a newcomer to the chart. Three million singles later, Taio repeated the same feat with his second single, “Dynamite,” which is triple platinum, and he shows no sign of slowing down. The London-born singer/songwriter is also a go-to producer and recently concluded writing sessions with producers J.R. Rotem, Stargate, Kevin Rudolf and Dr. Luke, while also collaborating with “X Factor” champ Leona Lewis, Britney Spears, Brandy, Flo Rida, Usher, Keri Hilson, Ludacris, Ke$ha and hit British acts like Sugababes and JLS & Cheryl. Next up, Taio is releasing his third single off Rokstarr, “Higher,” featuring Travie McCoy, and he continues to expand his Rokstarr brand with a line of sunglasses and fashion accessories.
