About The Artist
Located in Surrey
Connection to Fraser Valley: Although I currently reside in Surrey, I have a longstanding personal and artistic connection to the Fraser Valley. Since childhood, my family has spent summers in Mission, and many of my earliest memories are tied to exploring communities throughout the region, including annual visits to local festivals and attractions in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.The region has also been deeply connected to my musical journey. One of my earliest performance opportunities was at Fort Langley Canada Day celebrations, where I began singing the national anthem at just seven years old. Since then, I've had the opportunity to perform at events such as Jam in Jubilee and continue to spend time in the Fraser Valley regularly. The area remains both a source of inspiration and a place where I feel connected to community, family, and music.
