Jessy Lanza is a electronic music producer and performer from Hamilton, Ontario. Her debut record Pull My Hair Back was a top 10 finalist for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize.

Jessy and I chilled out in her van for a bit and ate candy. I asked her about her time as a piano teacher, her Hello Kitty obsession and working with Jeremy Greenspan from Junior Boys, but my favorite part of our chat is when Jessy goes off about when she gets called a “songstress.” Why? You’ll have to hear it.
