Her forthcoming EP ‘ENDiNGS’ was recorded at Protection Island Studios with David Vertesi (Haley Blais, Hey Ocean!) and Jonathan Anderson (Aidan Knight, Field Guide). Her sophomore record ‘This Can’t Last Forever’ received acclaim from RANGE, The Georgia Straight, Daily Hive, and CBC Music, and was written with collaborators including Khalid Yassein (Wild Rivers) and Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen).
