Editor's note

Alessia Cara, the Brampton singer who found her voice

From YouTube covers to songs about self-acceptance, she writes for anyone who's ever felt out of place.

If you want to get her, listen to "River Of Tears" and "Shapeshifter." They're quiet, but they don't pull any punches.

She's one of those artists who makes you feel less alone in your own head. Songs like "River Of Tears" and "Scars to Your Beautiful" tackle self-doubt and fitting in without sounding like a lecture. Even her work on the "Moana" soundtrack and the Logic collaboration "1-800-273-8255" keeps that same honest, grounded tone.

It started with YouTube covers in 2014, including one of Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud." Her first album "Know-It-All" came out the next year, followed by "The Pains of Growing" and "In the Meantime." She's kept writing about the same things, just with a bit more room to breathe.
