Alessia Cara shook the world with her bluesy, antisocial anthem "Here" in 2015, which climbed its way to the No. 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 last year. And since then, the "Wild Things" singer’s built a massive following for herself.

Alessia's been co-signed by the likes of her fellow Canada native, Drake, and received Taylor Swift’s blessing after she put her soulful spin on Swift's "Bad Blood." She's joined Troye Sivan on a brand-new version of his hit "Wild," and is currently spending summer on the road with Coldplay, sharing songs from her Know-It-All album as their opening act.
