I magine living the dream: being discovered on YouTube, shooting to stardom, then becoming a worldwide sensation with millions of streams on Spotify. We may see the end result , but the journey and that human experience towards that dream is rarely visible: the hard work, dedication and talent that was tapped into at a tender age, and just knowing that it was always meant to be that path. At just 23, Alessia Cara has already been on the airwaves, performed around the globe (we caught her in between a showcase in the region), and is constantly on the up-rise — all because she began experimenting with music when she was 10 and started her own YouTube channel at 13 singing covers with her mum’s encouragement.
Having grown up singing, Alessia’s writing has been evolving through it all , loving and owning loneliness, all while staying completely grounded and the girl next door (aptly, a song title that appears on her new album!). She has just released a brand new track ‘Ready’, the first single from her EP This Summer which will be out 6 September. She spoke to #TeamCLEO about her journey of growing from YouTube to performing on stage, from doing covers to winning a Grammy Award, how the know-it-all may just still be naïve, and taking it “one day at a time”. Her fans and the world are totally ready for more!
