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

Toronto is a very multicultural city, a place of immigrants, like my parents.

I'm a young girl with an old soul. I wanted to fuse the two together, the past and the present.

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.

Older audiences are hard to win over. They're very specific in their tastes and critical of new music.

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

Before I could even hold a pen I was singing.
