Alessia Cara was a kid from Mississauga posting covers to YouTube at 13, and her acoustic takes on songs like "Sweater Weather" were enough to land her a deal with EP Entertainment and Def Jam in 2014. Her debut single, "Here", arrived the next year, a slow, smoky, bass-heavy groove, and it crept up slowly to become a sleeper hit, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Know-It-All, her 2015 debut album, went top ten in both Canada and the US, and "Scars to Your Beautiful" became another big hit the following year. Her voice is husky and unhurried, soul and R&B worn casually over pop that never feels overcooked, and she plays guitar, ukulele, keyboards and piano too.
She sang on Zedd's "Stay" in 2017, and in 2018 she became the first Canadian ever to win the Grammy for Best New Artist. The Pains of Growing, that same year, took home the Juno for Album of the Year, and she won Songwriter of the Year too. In the Meantime followed in 2021 and Love & Hyperbole on February 14, 2025, both to warm reviews.
