Whitney Houston's voice was the very first voice I fell in love with. She was the voice that made me want to become a singer.

I'm a first-generation Canadian.

Canada can be tough for urban music.

It's nice to have some anonymity and still be low key.

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

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

I'm a drugstore beauty girl, I love going to the drugstore and buying makeup.
