So I though for Tuesday I would post an up and coming artist that I'm interested in and would like to kind of recommend to you. A lot of the musicians are going to be Canadian because I think Canadian artists are great but under appreciated on the world wide stage. Take a listen if you are interested. Today, I present to you...

LIGHTS

Lights is a Canadian singer/songwriter from Timmins, Ontario. She moved to Toronto when she was 18 to help her musical career. The genre is sometimes classified as electro pop punk, with the use of many synths, the drums and LIGHTS is well known for using a keytar at her preformances. I had the wonderful opportunity to be on stage with her when she played Warped Tour in Toronto this July. I had backstage passes and she was amazing live. If you are interested in hearing some of her music head on over to her myspace. I highly reccomend you download her EP off iTunes, and her album comes out at the end of September. My favourite song of hers is called 'Ice'. Lights is also know for her fascination with comic books and more specifically, Wonder Woman and generally any female hero. She even has a tatoo of Wonder Woman on her back. She is most known for her songs 'Drive My Soul' which used to be played before movies in Cineplex theatres across Canada, and her song 'Febuary Air' which Old Navy used in one of it's commercials a few years ago.

Connect with lights through her myspace, twitter, or her website.
