The Montreal DJ blends moods, genres, and raw bass to create unmissable dance floor moments.
As pop-punk storms back into the forefront of culture, nobody did it better this year than this 20-year-old Torontonian.

With an overarching concept of a self-help column and lyrics examining struggling to stay true to herself amid various social pressures, her idolization of the genre contributes to some truly anthemic choruses and heart wrenching imagery delivered by a strikingly emotive voice.
