LIGHTS canada's newest + littlest gem


Who will drive YOUR soul?

At the age of 21, Lights is Toronto's own little sweetheart with tons of talent to share and a big voice. I happened to attend her latest show at the Phoenix Concert Theatre last month, and although a short set (45 min), she managed to captivate the seemingly young mixed crowed with her bubbly on stage personality and catchy, playful jams (available on her first EP in stores now).

Her videos for "Drive My Soul" and "February Air" air on MuchMusic and air on many radio stations for your listening pleasure. A couple of her tunes have made their way into Old Navy commercials where she gained international notice. She also appears on Canada's own Ten Second Epic's album Hometown.

Lights, aka Valerie Poxleitner, is currently working on her full length debut, and from the sounds of it, the album will be one to watch out for. Check out her official mySpace or her official website for vblogs from Lights herself, merch, and videos.

Lights will be playing the Vans Warped Tour when it hits Toronto July 10, 2009, along with other great talent!

Enjoy the LIGHTS!

  1. Your blog just scored major cool points with me. Lights is wicked awesome, wicked sweet, wicked stellar and all that other grand stuff. She's like tops on my favorite music list right now and when I go to her concerts they're the best. I hope her music starts to catch on in the States.

  2. This lady is awesome! Guess what? On September 25th you can buy tickets from Rogers urMusic Wireless Box Office, and you automatically get free entry to a special meet and greet with Lights.Check it out at- the urmusic. ca site.
    Also you don’t pay a ticket service charge with urMusic WBO - because rogers pay the fees. It’s a perk of being a customer. Also if you fan urmusic on facebook you can see all their wicked ticket promotions. I can’t wait to meet LIGHTS!
    peace.
