Just 22, Lights (born Valerie Poxleitner in Timmins, Ont. to missionary parents) is a wunderkind. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist who writes, records and co-produces all of her music, she won the New Artist of the Year at the 2009 Junos with just a six-song EP under her belt. Now the electro-pop star, managed by CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi, displays an adventurous spirit on her full-length debut, with thoughtful songs like “Saviour” and a sweet, otherworldly sound she calls “soft, but not pussy-soft, you know?” Reviews

 k.d. lang - Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductee2013 | Administrator | Monday, 22 April 2013 She arrived like a chinook in the dead of winter. When k.d. lang first blew out of Alberta in the mid-1980s, her look, personality and voice seemed to be exactly what everyone was hankering for: theatricality,... |
 The Midway State - From Riches to Rags and Back Again2011 | Administrator | Wednesday, 31 August 2011 Nathan Ferraro doesn’t seem the least bit bitter—which is surprising, given everything he’s been through. In fact, the affable, afro-haired frontman exudes all the serenity of a Buddhist monk, as he sits in a Toronto café... |
 Great Lake Swimmers' new energy2012 | Administrator | Sunday, 3 June 2012 For Tony Dekker, recording—like real estate—is all about location.
