37m
Canadian singer/songwriter and Def Jam recording artist Alessia Cara visited the GRAMMY Museum on November 17, 2016. Cara emerged onto the music scene in 2015 with the release of her iconic anthem "Here." A JUNO award winner for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Cara has also been nominated for an AMA for Best New Artist of the Year. She earned her first career GRAMMY nominations at the 60th GRAMMY Awards for Best New Artist, Song Of The Year and Best Music Video for Logic's "1-800-273-8255," also featuring Khalid, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Stay" with Zedd. She won the Best New Artist GRAMMY Award that same year. Her breakthrough single, "Scars to Your Beautiful," is Cara's gut-wrenching take on female identity, on body image and on deleterious behaviors in the name of beauty.
