| Occupation | Singer-songwriter |
The daughter of an American father and a Québécois mother, Shonk was born in Providence, Rhode Island and raised in Quebec City.[3] Although fluently bilingual, she writes songs almost entirely in English, which she attributes to having been influenced primarily by anglophone rather than francophone music.[1] Her album does, however, include three French-language songs co-written with Patrick Sauvageau.[1]
She was a competitor on the second season of TVA's La Voix in 2014,[4] but was eliminated from the competition after losing a duel round to Mathieu Lavoie. She released her debut album in late 2017.[5] During the same period, she recorded a cover of Beyoncé's "Halo" for the soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show Crystal.[6]
