Strong launched her career in 2019 but has been singing since she was a young child. As she grew older, her passion for music only grew stronger.
She began posting videos of herself singing covers on TikToks from Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Daniel Caesar, among others.
Once she started appearing on Canada’s Got Talent, the singer quickly became an internet sensation and a hometown hero. It wasn’t long until she received a Golden Buzzer from content creator and judge Lilly Singh, securing a straight ride to the live shows along with a $25,000 prize.
According to media reports, Strong is planning on using her massive win to help her family and go on a vacation.
