Having heard her performance at Ottawa's beloved music venue, Red Bird, earlier this year I can attest that she lives up to her reputation as one of the capital's foremost singer-songwriters. Recently, I caught up with her to interview her about her career, recent successes, and what she's been working on lately.
How would you describe your music to those who , are unfamiliar with your work? It will be available on September 27, ! I spent time over the winter working on some new music. Currently, you can expect a few new singles on the radar! You have an illustrious career as both an actress and a singer-songwriter. What do you identify as the most? Do you want to settle into one role down the line or both?
The goal is always to be sharing stories that are authentically resonating with audiences in a meaningful way. I have a great appreciation for artists with multi-faceted careers! Beyond acting and music, do you have any other passions? For instance, I noticed that you were credited as the graphic designer for your EP, Wildflower. I did work on the album design for Wildflower , including the physical CD graphics, as well as my merch designs tote bags and t-shirts.
I am no pro by any means but I do enjoy it! Another creative outlet and passion of mine is food β you can often find me in the kitchen baking or cooking up a new recipe! How do you think you have musically evolved or changed since then? It is wild to think that almost two years have gone by β they have really flown right by!
I hope to be constantly evolving. Something that has struck me is the evolution of the meaning of the songs to me. How would you describe the impact it has on your career? I still find it hard to believe! It is an honour to receive the recognition, especially as an independent artist on my debut release. Of course, I am not in it for the accolades, but it is a special feeling to know that industry peers appreciate my work. When this world can be filled with self-doubt, it almost feels like a pat on the back to say you are on the right path.
