Kelis shares her musical milestones with Matt Everitt in a programme first broadcast in 2016.

Her musical story began in a strictly jazz-only household before discovering grunge at college and combining this with a passion for RnB. She talks about meeting the Neptunes, which proved to be a pivotal partnership in her multi-genre musical path, and the trials and tribulations of getting a record deal. Kelis recalls her struggles with a music industry that wanted to pigeonhole her and the long running battle she had over the track 'Milkshake', which eventually became a global hit and part of popular culture. She also explains her love for food and how she stepped away from music to focus on this before her eventual comeback with the fittingly entitled album, Food. Featuring music by Betty Carter, The Eurythmics, Nirvana and Roberta Flack.
