A singer/songwriter and inspirational speaker, Lacey grew up singing and making music. She played in the Breeze Band when they were nominated for an Aboriginal Peoples Choice Award, before launching her solo career to great critical acclaim.

My focus is Love; it’s the only way and we need more of it!” Her sophomore album “M: 528 Volume II” has taken Lacey across Canada and on to international stages.
