Wow! No words to truly express the emotion that poured out of me when I watched the live show from here in Toronto. To be awarded the 2019 SCMA Emerging Artist of the Year truly helps validate everything I have been working towards. Thank you to everyone who felt I was deserving to receive this award, the recognition from my SCMA peers and industry friends is really something else. I am so honoured to have been in a category of other hard working, talented artists. Cheers everyone! Much love xo
