In 2005, she won a talent search contest sponsored by Edmonton radio station 91.7 FM The Bounce and was given the chance to record four tracks with Vancouver-based writers/producers Hipjoint. One of those songs, "Bounce With Me," became a radio hit and attracted the attention of urban music manager Chris Smith (Nelly Furtado, Tamia).
On her debut album Passion, Kreesha collaborated with some of the best in the business including Grammy Award-winning songwriter Harold Lilly (Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson), producer Devo Springsteen, another Grammy winner (John Legend, Aretha Franklin) and Toronto-based songwriter and producer Jon Levine (Philosopher Kings, Nelly Furtado).

The song "MJ" by Kreesha Turner is an ode to Michael Jackson and his legendary persona as the "King of Pop." Turner uses Jackson's image and signature moves to portray herself as a confident and powerful woman who cannot be underestimated or messed with. The lyrics reference Jackson's hit songs and album titles, such as "Bad" and "Smooth Criminal," and use his iconic moonwalk as a metaphor for walking away from haters and naysayers.
Throughout the song, Turner asserts her dominance over anyone who tries to come at her or challenge her style. She brags about her expensive possessions, her unique mix of cultures, and her irresistible charm that makes men "trip" in her presence. The use of Jamaican patois in some of the lyrics adds a touch of Caribbean flavour to the song and showcases Turner's multicultural roots.
