Body image is something that girls struggle with every day, and it's something that I struggle with every day.
As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?
Every time I sing, it it's a reminder to myself that I have to be confident.
Everywhere I go, every city, they're always like, 'What's in the water in Canada? What's in the water in Toronto?'
Flannel shirts, denim, Converse, a guitar, messy hair? That's literally me.
I barely have time to think. But the best way to stay grounded is to take it one day at a time.
I don't know how to talk to people I don't know.
I don't really dance. I don't drink or smoke. Being at parties is very awkward.
I wanted to get through high school anonymously.
I was always so scared to sing in front of people. That was kind of my weird thing.
Music was something I found on my own. I got my first guitar when I was around 10, and it just all developed over time.
My house was very strange. I didn't do things other kids did because my parents were very strict - I stayed at home, quiet in my room.
Singing was something I always did. I really don't remember a time when I wasn't singing, even as a little child.
The only thing I'm really, truly good at is music - I just love it.
