Oh hey, I'm LIGHTS--a fairly small-sized, Canadian girl who makes intergalactic-electro music. What do I mean by intergalactic? I'm glad you asked. I try to find sounds that seem like they could have been plucked from Saturn's rings or a meteor belt. Equal parts fantastical/epic/beautiful/emotional.
As a kid I moved around a lot. To find some form of consistency, I had to find a place that always stayed the same. Concocting music became that world to me and I escaped there any chance I got. It started with just me and the guitar. Then, I moved on to drums, piano, and then the keyboard. When I started realizing the limitless possibilities that synthetic instruments presented, I invested in a little 8-track mixer. I was thirteen. I began the process of transferring what was in my head into something solid.
After drifting around and dabbling in different musical genres throughout my teen years, I finally landed on the so-called "electro-pop" planet I live on now. I unleashed a little taster of my work in the early months of 2008 as an EP but the songs kept coming...I couldn't stop them. And the more I made, the easier it became to convey how I felt through simple lyrics juxtaposed with sounds harvested from the far reaches of my alternate universe.
Finally I sat back and listened to everything I had feverishly created over the past years, and I was happy. I realized I had discovered more about myself when I was just listening and creating music than from anything else. And for every minute of song that passed through my head, I was reminded of that realization, and it felt special. I called this first full collection of music, "The Listening." I hope that it makes you feel special too..

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." A wish to my friend is to have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving with the ones you love.
one time, there was this little girl who was eating ice cream, on a hot summer day, when suddenly a wild pigeon high up in the air decided to drop his droppings which landed on the girls head, this distracted her and her scoop of vanilla slid of the cone and fell.. the little girl started crying, and was asking for her mommy, but mommy was busy smoking a cigarette and talking to Jake her new boyfriend, so there was no one to help her, except.. you guessed it.. LIGHTS... i was a witness to this.. LIGHTS who was ten feet away signing autographs, watched this little girl cry, and what she did amazed me. She went up to the guy selling the ice cream, and she said.. "mister give me 4 scoops of the freshest vanilla you've got" the mister was stupefied, as no one has ever ordered 4 scoops before, it was unheard of. So he gives her 4 scoops and LIGHTS, this is what amazes me, she walks up to the little girl, and says "HERE little one.. take this" The little girl was shocked.. dumbfounded, surprised! She suddenly revealed her smile.. there were some teeth missing, like a hockey player, and she hugged LIGHTS. This was the most dramatic moment I can remember of the top of my head, and I'm embarrassed to say that I did show some emotion right there and then, and spilled a couple of tears. Where I'm going with this and what I want to say is that we need to be good to each other as LIGHTS was to the little girl, who I later found out was taken to the hospital with ice cream poisoning, I guess the ice cream guy forgot to wash his hands, but that's not important, what's important is the love and care LIGHTS showed. LIGHTS lit up the girls face with her good actions. She was a role model. So if you EVER seen anyone little girl who dropped her ice cream, you run up, and give her a new cone, with triple the ice cream and make her day good.
