On today's episode, I talk to musician Basia Bulat. The daughter
of Polish émigrés, Basia was born and raised in Toronto's Etobicoke
neighbourhood and grew up listening to her mother's piano students.
She attended the University of Western Ontario where she received a
degree in English and began an MA in English at Western in 2006 but
moved to Montreal to record "an audible memory" of her time there
which resulted in her debut album. Since then, she has recorded
five more albums, is a three-time Polaris Music Prize finalist, and
has been nominated for three Juno Awards. Her latest album is an
orchestral reimagining of a number of her songs entitled The
Garden, and like the rest of her work, it's great!
