today i'd like to share one of my favorite music artists and also a person who i have a lot of respect for. lights, or valerie poxleitner, is an electronic pop musician from canada. at a young age she began writing and playing her own music as she traveled the world with her missionary parents. at 18, she moved out on her own in toronto and legally changed her name to lights. she started out composing music for others, but eventually released her own album: the listening. last month she released her second album: siberia. both albums are stellar, although significantly different from one another as her style has evolved.
i first discovered her music when matt had me watch a couple of her music videos on youtube last year. i was hooked after watching second go. i just love, not only her music, but her quirky personality, crazy-awesome talent, and outlook on life that i have a lot of respect for. she has also done some super sweet paintings.
matt & i are going to see her in concert tomorrow night in san diego. we are both so excited to finally have the opportunity to see her live, and we've been listening to her albums without cease during the past few weeks.
check out her music & let me know what you think!!
love.nu
