Born in rural Manitoba and now based in Toronto, this Canadian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist got her first taste of the performing arts when she joined the school band at 12 years old. She learned the tenor saxophone and later added piano. She earned a Master’s degree in Jazz Performance at Brandon University. Since she’s played the Markham Jazz Festival and Fresh Up Fest. Inspired by Donald Fagen and Moonchild, she released her debut “What You Do” in 2018.
With personal, introspective lyrics about getting mixed messages of always being too this or too that, but never being just right, her new single is filled with empowerment and self-acceptance. Taken from her recently released EP with the same title, the song is an easygoing amalgam of neo-soul and a touch of jazz. Blending the mellow piano, soft rhythm and a cheeky tambourine, she’s created a nostalgic tune. And with her luscious vocals, this wistful melody is a stunning gem.
