I was born in Powell River. I have been entertaining audiences since the age of 5 with piano, singing and acting. Recently, I have picked up the guitar.
On February 11, 2012 I won Powell River Idol at the age of 13.
On October 12, 2014 I won the first season of the international singing contest, The Cyber Academy, at the age of 16.
In June of 2013, I had the privilege of creating a music video of "Her Spirit Lives". A poem written by my grandmother Helena Kelly, original music by Paul Laine, re-arranged by Ildiko Kelly. This experience inspired me to write my own music which led to "I Thought You Were an Angel" which I performed at the Sea Fair Talent Contest that summer taking 1st place.
