CMRRA / Four Chords and the Truth

Proudest 2025 Achievement:

On any given day this year, I found myself either in the company of creators serving their community through music, or music professionals supporting creators through business; in either case, I could relate because I am both. I once thought success meant being a full-time songwriter, but I now see that being an active creator and part of the management team at CMRRA allows me to approach everything I do in music with a holistic perspective, whether supporting music publishers, representing the Songwriters Association of Canada on the Women in Music panel at CIAM, jurying important initiatives like the Her Music Awards, or working with industry colleagues, brands, charity partners, and songwriters to produce Four Chords and the Truth.

What I am most proud of is the possibility that my multiple roles can show a young person struggling to choose between business and creative paths that they can do both.

One Thing I Wish I Knew at the Start of My Career:

You belong in any room in which you find yourself: sometimes it’s to speak, sometimes it’s to listen, sometimes it’s to sing, sometimes it’s all of the above. Figuring out which, when, and to whom, will determine the course of your career.
