Hailing from Hamilton, this Canadian singer/songwriter has been honing her craft and cultivating her love for performing her entire life. At 16 she would sneak into bars to soak up the culture and the sounds. In 2010 she became the front woman of the band Weekend Riot Club. Inspired by legends like Alanis Morissette and Janis Joplin, she debuted her first solo single “Cigarette Song” in 2022.
Lyrically highlighting the threat of climate change and the seemingly low priority this issue still has, her new single envelops her powerful message in a delicious Motown and blues blend. Instantly ear-tingling with a sprightly beat, crisp guitars and blazing brass, it’s her passionate, soul-soaked vocal chops conveying her important words, that make this vintage-dipped groove an instant classic.

Born in Australia to an Australian-Italian mother and a Nigerian father, this singer and songwriter grew up bouncing between cultures and finding it hard to fit in. After learning about poets like Allen Ginsberg and Sylvia Plath, she found solace in writing poetry. At 14 she began adding music to her words. Inspired by Amy Winehouse and Frank Ocean, she released her debut “Mine” in 2020.
Birthed out of 12 months of doing what she loves, her new single tells a story of not taking life and relationships too seriously and to just enjoy every moment. With an inspired fusion of musical influences, like classic R&B and buttery-smooth soul, it’s the bouncy beat, sprightly keys and balmy bass that shape an infectious melody. And with her flirtatious vocals, this groove is the epitome of cool.
