I love the freedom to do whatever I want with style and not be put into a box.
I rarely buy a shoe that is completely specific to a time and outfit. I generally tend to spend money on good shoes that can go with everything.
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.
West Indian cultural mentality and a North American life equals the perfect balance.
Toronto is a very multicultural city, a place of immigrants, like my parents.
Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.
Older audiences are hard to win over. They're very specific in their tastes and critical of new music.
It's nice to have some anonymity and still be low key.
I've admired Alicia Keys since before I got into the music industry, just everything she represents as a female artist.
I'm a first-generation Canadian.
I'm a young girl with an old soul. I wanted to fuse the two together, the past and the present.
The true essence of fashion is being able to reinvent yourself with what you have.
I'm a drugstore beauty girl, I love going to the drugstore and buying makeup.
