Lights

Toronto-based singer/songwriter Lights Poxleitner has been able to straddle the line between mainstream and indie ever since first coming onto the scene in 2008 at the ripe age of 16. Though she initially wrote songs for other artists, label heads began taking notice and Lights soon found herself with a record deal. While her music primarily consists of slick synth-pop appropriate for any dance club or Top 40 radio slot, Lights' recent collaboration with the respected Canadian electronica act Holy Fuck has hardened up her sound a bit and added a refreshing dose of grit to her pop.
