MY DEBUT 'GLEAM' IS OUT NOW!
Raised in Toronto, Lia Pappas-Kemps started sharing her songs and covers of other artists she admired on social media in her late teens. In 2021 and 2022, the 20-year-old musician announced herself through a series of singles, including the grunge-inflected “Jinx” and the gorgeous, swooning ballads “Sad in Toronto” and “Object at Best.” For Pappas-Kemps, expressing herself through art has always been second nature. Her knack for creating unrelentingly catchy songs with emotional urgency, and pop acuity feels well outside the range of your average songwriter. Her discography plots a crystalline moment in an engaging coming-of-age story—one that will feel compelling for anyone for whom desire has felt as heavy as the weight of the world.
