Before I could even hold a pen I was singing.

I am a bit of a hopeless romantic. I really do have a faith and a belief in love, and when I love, I love hard.

Canada had the good health-care system and educational system. It was a privilege for me to grow up there.

Bob Marley is one of the most recognized artists. He didn't care to be defined. People wondered, 'Is it reggae? Is it rock?' But at the end of the day they were still playing his music and that's what matters.

I love the freedom to do whatever I want with style and not be put into a box.

Canada can be tough for urban music.

Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.
