After earning a degree in Classical Music, she emerged from the Toronto folk scene and quickly found fans across the globe. Early UK performances - including a spotlight at Sundance London at the O2 - led to recording at Kensaltown and Abbey Road Studios in London with producer James Bryan.  From there her music has been featured on Spotify, Canada AM, CBS, BBC, CBC, SiriusXM, etc and has found her touring extensively across Canada, America, Ireland, and the UK sharing stages with artists like Jason Mraz, Darius Rucker, The Devlins, Joan Osborne and more. Known for her captivating live shows and emotive songwriting, her most recent release Wild (vol. 1), is an eclectic mix of original songs blending indie folk sounds with emotional depth and introspection.
