Toronto is a very multicultural city, a place of immigrants, like my parents.

My parents leaving a third world country to a first world country and building from nothing - that's really inspiring to me and it's influenced me in a positive way.

I feel like shoes are one of those things that no matter how conservative or how outrageous you get, a good pair of shoes is going to last you a lifetime.

Whitney Houston's voice was the very first voice I fell in love with. She was the voice that made me want to become a singer.

Melanie Fiona is a singer, a songwriter, she's a super-girl. I can be silly, goofy, really chilled. She's like your cool chill girlfriend, sister-friend. I'm just like everybody else.

I'm a young girl with an old soul. I wanted to fuse the two together, the past and the present.
