In a career full of accolades, she has maintained her unfiltered, vulnerable and often hilarious charisma and her impeccable style — which will be on display at Billboard Canada Women In Music — as well as her unbreakable flow, which merges seamlessly with hard-hitting beats, pop hooks and Latin rhythms.
“When I came into the music industry, I didn’t know if people were going to accept me. Throughout the years if you listen to my mixtape, if you listen to my music now, I have progressed because I wanted to progress. I want to be the best I can at anything that I do” she said at Billboard Women In Music in 2020. “There's hope for your dreams.”
This year’s third edition of Billboard Canada Women In Music will be more global than ever, bringing together Canada’s most exciting musicians with the biggest names across the world — as well as luminaries from across the music industry. Recently announced honourees include Executive of the Year, Live Nation Canada’s Melissa Bubb-Clarke, and Impact Award Winner, MusiCounts/CARAS/The Juno Awards’ Kristy Fletcher.
