A Toronto singer-songwriter who carved her own path through pop-rock and label disputes.
For a quick sense of her style, try "If I Was a Guy" and the original "Don't Go." They're straightforward, guitar-driven, and sound like she means every word.
She writes and performs all her own material, which isn't always a given in pop. Songs like "If I Was a Guy" and "Johnny Cash" have a direct, unvarnished quality that feels personal. Her version of "Wavin' Flag" for the Haiti benefit showed she could handle a big anthem without losing her own voice.
Her self-titled debut arrived in 2003 with tracks like "Don't Go (Girls & Boys)" and "Stuttering." The second album "Sunday Love" got caught in a label dispute in 2006, and she eventually left Island Def Jam to put out "Joy" in 2010 and another self-titled record in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
