Artist
I am a Toronto-based, Saskatoon born, folk/pop singer-songwriter and actor. I am known for her emotionally charged songwriting and roles in The Boys (Amazon Prime) and Jeff Ltd among other. My 2022 EP We Got This – Side Two was hailed as my "finest songwriting to date" by Canadian arts journalist Bob Mersereau. Affectionately dubbed "Mary Poppins with a broken heart" by BBC Radio, I have released two full albums and 3 EPS, performed at major festivals like NXNE, Canadian Music Week, Burlington Sound of Music Festival Danny Loves Music Festival, Gussapolooza and Winterfolk. I'm set to record a third full length album in 2026. My performance style blends traditional folk elements with modern influences, marked by a laid-back yet polished stage presence.
When not performing I work as a private music teacher known for inspiring non-songwriters to write songs, shy singers to sing out a be heard and guitar players who write to hit open stages and share their songs with the world.
I am also the co-booker at The Pilot in Yorkville Toronto and the Winterfolk Festival Artistic Advisor.
