Alessia Cara is a Canadian singer-songwriter hailing from Brampton, Ontario. Born Alessia Caracciolo on July 11, 1996, she catapulted to fame with her introspective songwriting and soulful pop-R&B sound. Cara first captured the attention of the public with her 2015 debut single "Here," which became a sleeper hit and anthem for introverts everywhere. The success of this track set the stage for her debut album, "Know-It-All," which earned her a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and further cemented her status as a fresh and relatable voice on the music scene.

Since her breakthrough, Alessia Cara has continued to charm audiences with her self-aware lyrics and relatable themes often centered around youth and self-acceptance.
