Studio.89 - Unit 104

The YTGA Open Mic Series returns for another display of Mississauga Culture on the open mic. Our feature this time is singer and songwriter PAIGE ESSENCE

A Toronto born Canadian, Paige is a singer, songwriter, actor and dancer, currently mentoring with Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo. She just wrapped recording her first EP, with the first single "Van Gogh" being released in the fall 2019, with a music video release shortly to follow. Artists she admires and loves to cover are Demi Lovato, Billie Eilish, Halsey, Camila Cabello, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Kesha. The style of music she is currently writing is electronic pop with a mix of both belting and softer tones. Paige has a soft spot for performing at fundraisers having recently opened to a sold out crowd for Halton Women’s Place 40th anniversary Ruby Gala at the Oakville Conference Centre where she sung Kesha’s Praying. She can also be seen on occasion belting out the national anthems for the Raptor 905 games at the Paramount Centre in Mississauga. She loves performing at weddings. She enjoys writing songs and scores for short films and movies having recently written the beautiful song "In My Heart" for the multi award winning short film "Heart Strings" currently in the film festival circuit. She is excited to share her stories with the world and can’t wait for you to hear them. http://www.paigeessence.com/
