First up to bat, Edmonton, Alberta native Kreesha Turner is already being touted as the "Canadian Rihanna". Signed to Capitol Music/EMI Kreesha has had two singles chart in Canada so far, "Bounce With Me" and "Don't Call Me Baby".
"Don't Call Me Baby"
"Bounce With Me"
Another one on my radar is singer Ayah Yousef, a Toronto resident of Middle Eastern descent. I got my hands on her "Problem Woman" mixtape and really felt it, particularly because the tape includes interview footage where Ayah offers some really intelligent, outspoken views on social issues and culture. Check her out below:
"Pusha Man" ft. Tona (warning, there is a little cursing at the end of the video)
You can download or purchase her mixtape on MySpaces:
