The Factory Earrings; edginess at its simplest.

WHAT'S THE MOST MEANINGFUL PIECE OF JEWELRY YOU OWN?
My white gold ring. It was a gift from family, and it reminds me to always put my family and myself first. I wear it on my ring finger, and only take it off when I’m on set.

WHERE AND WHEN WERE YOU DISCOVERED?

I was discovered by a small agency in Quebec's countryside. I was 17.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF MODELLING?
Travelling, meeting and working with new people all the time.

WHEN DID YOU START SINGING?
I kind of always sang. I started doing it for my family when I was 4 years old, and started
taking singing courses three years later.

WHO/WHAT INSPIRES YOU, MUSICALLY?
So many things. Music is the most important thing for me. I feel really connected to anything soulful and jazzy. I love grainy voices, like those you find in old school jazz: Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald.

I, also, absolutely love artists like Kaytranada, Anderson Paak, Amy Winehouse, Jorja Smith, Frank ocean, Snoop Dog, N.W.A, Ice cube , Tupac, Notorious B.I.G, Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gibbs, Cardi B.
