A 1980s rock frontwoman who carved her own path with straightforward energy and raspy vocals.
For the full picture, start with 'Metal Queen' and then check out 'Fire And Gasoline' from her later work. Both show that straightforward rock energy she never lost.
In the 1980s rock scene, her presence as a female frontwoman with a direct, assertive style stood out. The 1984 title track 'Metal Queen' became something of an anthem with its straightforward rock energy, and songs like 'Baby Go Round' and 'Concrete & Ice' helped build her following in Canada and got some attention in the U.S. charts.
She took her stage name from the Toronto-based rock group she joined in 1982, which released its self-titled debut album the following year. She kept recording through the decade, putting out songs that worked in both hard rock and more melodic territory.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
