Debut single 'The Rush' hit the Number 1 spot on Canada's modern rock, active rock and mainstream rock charts last year, and debut album 'Ruthless' won Rock Album of the Year at the 2021 Juno Awards.
It's been an exciting couple of years for the artist, and she's about to arrive on our shores for a new tour of the UK and EU in support of recent EP 'Wilde'.
Hello! How are you doing? What have you been up to today?
I'm hungover watching movies on the couch.
Have you been getting out much now things have been opening back up?
I have! It's been really nice to be able to enjoy patios this summer and seeing friends.
It's been tough. Not being able to play shows has been really hard. I feel for all musicians; music and performing are huge parts of my life, and to have it be put on hold, there was definitely a void there. I do feel very lucky, though, that I was still able to record and release music to keep active.
I'm feeling very excited to get on the road and tour the new music! I thought about postponing, but really I think people needed music during the pandemic more than ever. An escape from all the craziness that was going on.
We're not having many challenges with bookings at the moment since quarantine and travel restrictions have been lifted! Although some of the places on tours we would play have been closed, which is sad.
I'm super excited to be playing my first hometown show! Also, Bottle Rock in Napa, California. I've always wanted to play that festival; I can't wait to be surrounded by people and music for an entire weekend! Seems like a dream after the last year and a half.
My setlist changes with every show. My new songs are always my favourite, so I love putting them in the mix! I like to have an energetic set with a few slow moments in the middle. I'll play the album as well as my new EP!
I definitely am someone who listens to sad folk music when I'm sad, and happy upbeat music when I'm happy. My music taste is based on my mood; what I'm feeling usually dictates what I listen to. Right now, I'm loving indie-pop.
I am currently in LA on a five-week writing trip! Working on the next album.
I'd like to say how appreciative I am of everyone who listened to my music and supported me during the pandemic. Being able to create and share music through such a hard time really helped, and I am very thankful.
