KAPRI is a Canadian pop and dance music singer from Edmonton, Alberta,[1] whose single "Deeper" was a Juno Award nominee for Dance Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018.[2]
In 2021 her cover of Alexis Jordan's 2010 single "Happiness" was used as a lip sync number in a second season episode of Canada's Drag Race, although the selection faced some discussion among the show's viewers as KAPRI's recording was unlocatable on any music store or streaming platform.[3] The situation led to unconfirmed speculation that the show had to commission a new cover of the song after using Jordan's original recording during production and then running into a copyright clearance issue.[4]
