"Her
songs tackle sexual foibles, existential crises and more with a giddy
levity that catapults us into an absurd (yet very familiar) world of
her own creation.” -She Does The City
From the west coast of Canada comes this multi-award winning cabaret
musician, whose all original music is hilarious, uncensored, honest,
subversive, irreverent, witty, empowering, and taboo. Her clever lyrics
go down smooth with her gorgeous vocals, and her charm will disarm you
through topics both provocative and silly. With genres as wide ranging
as country, folk, rock, EDM, electro pop and r&b, her versatility
as a musician and songwriter lends itself to her hilarious sensibility.
Her one-woman cabaret shows have wowed audiences and critics
alike, with sell out shows across Canada, the US, Australia, New
Zealand and the UK. She’s appeared at JFL Northwest, The Melbourne
International Comedy Festival and CBC’s The Debaters. You may have
heard her on Dan Savage's podcast The Savage Lovecast and on SiriusXM.
She is signed with Canada's largest independent music label (604
Records) with Comedy Here Often. Her album Taking It Up The Notch debuted at #1 on the iTunes comedy charts in Canada when it debuted in late 2017. Her latest release Decoxification
also went to #1 and was nominated for a Juno Award for Comedy Album of
the Year. She also has a four song EP of pandemic themed erotic
lovemaking tracks called Quantity Time which will hopefully not be relevant for much longer.
