Twenty-two year-old Toronto singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist LIGHTS has been crafting unique, otherworldly synth-pop since she was 14. LIGHTS' songs have already garnered over 22 million plays on MySpace, and she has racked up a #1 hit on MuchMusic, inclusion in a series of Old Navy commercials, and airtime on The Hills. On the strength of her 2008 self-titled EP alone, LIGHTS won the 2009 Juno Award for New Artist of the Year, joining the ranks of Feist and Nelly Furtado.

Raised in the Philippines and Jamaica, LIGHTS finally settled in Timmins, Ontario. In her bedroom, dubbed Starry Night Studios, she began experimenting with her sound. At first it was just her and a guitar, then she moved on to drums, piano, and then the keyboard. LIGHTS became fascinated with the limitless possibilities synthetic instruments could offer and began to create her "inter-galactic electro" sound, which she describes as "simple lyrics juxtaposed with sounds harvested from the far reaches of my alternate universe."

LIGHTS' first full-length collection of music, The Listening, expanded on that sound. The album includes a few songs already familiar to die-hard LIGHTS fans, as well as plenty of new material. "Saviour", a propulsive pop anthem that represents the essence of LIGHTS, and "Ice", an 80's-influenced, irresistibly catchy crowd-pleaser, are standouts.

The Listening was released to critical acclaim in North America in fall 2009. Rolling Stone called LIGHTS a "retro new wave…keytar-rocking pixie," Billboard declared, "[The Listening] comes on like a more accessible version of the current buzz-worthy wave of U.K. electronic artists including Little Boots and La Roux. Exuberant…irresistibly catchy," and the Toronto Star praised her as "the very epitome of D.I.Y. pin-up cool."

LIGHTS was also selected as an inaugural artist for MySpace's new Introducing program, and she stars in her own short-form motion-comic series Audio Quest: A Captain LIGHTS Adventure, which aired on MTV and MTV.com. In fall 2009 she wrapped a North American headline tour, which included sold-out performances at New York's Mercury Lounge and the Troubadour in Los Angeles. Most recently, LIGHTS completed a 6 week, sold-out, international tour with Owl City.
