Nessa Barrett Reveals Her Favourite Canadian Artist

The viral alt-pop rising star met Billboard Canada backstage at her Toronto concert at History to talk about what she does when she comes to Canada, as well as her favourite slang terms and some surprising things we didn't know about her.

Nessa Barrett came to Toronto to play a packed History last night (Feb. 13), and she had the whole venue screaming her name.

The rising alt-pop artist has gone viral many times over on TikTok and other social media (she has over 6 million Instagram followers and over 2 billion global streams, still early in her career), and has had major co-signs from Lana Del Rey, who has brought her on stage and posted her song "Love Looks Pretty On You" on Instagram.
