It added some kind of direction to what seemed like a downward spiral of a life. Music just grabbed me at a young age, and I don’t even know why I do what I do.

It’s just kind of in my bones and I can’t help it,” the singer confided in a 2009 interview with The Georgia Straight. “ “As hard as it was, I definitely wouldn’t change a thing,” she said of her journey at the time. “You never know what you would think if you’d taken a different path, but I’m really happy where I am right now, and I know that that was what I had to go through on my journey or whatever you want to call it.
