PETRAA
Growing up in Leeds, England, where she was born Petraa always had a love and passion for Music. Although her love for Music was awakened in England, it wasn’ t until moving to Toronto, Canada in 2003 with her family that she would finally get her chance to explore and nurture her passion.
Starting off by appearing in local talents shows and Open Mics; Petraa performed throughout the city of Toronto, an eclectic style of R’ n’ B Reggae vibes; while on this journey, she attended York University in Toronto where she discovered the joy of the on-campus Radio Station CHRY 105.5 FM( now VIBE105 FM). It was here that Petraa would gain a plethora of experience about the ins and outs, and behind the scenes running of the music industry and Radio. After working at the Radio Station for a while, Petraa came across a business card for label Qryptonik Records. Although Petraa loved radio, Music was still her calling. She chose to call Qryptonik to set up a meeting. Briefly signing to the label in 2007, Petraa performed under the pseudo name of‘ Petra the Empress’. With the support of Qing Que, CEO of Qryptonik, the Label gave her the support needed to allow Petraa to reach to a wider audience through interviews with Rogers TV, Much Music and a variety of publications. After featuring on the single,“ Butterfly” with label mate Janny Popps, the song began to gain popularity on Radio Stations and on Much Music. The single received an award from New York’ s WBLK 93.7 Unsigned Hype for Best Hip Hop Song that year.
Although things seemed to be going well for Petraa, after years of establishing herself in Toronto, she still didn’ t feel like she was getting as far ahead with her music the way she had hoped. It was at that point Petraa made a fight or flight decision. This decision led her to pack up and head to the sunny island of Jamaica. Although, Petraa travelled to Jamaica back and forth over the next two years, it wasn’ t until 2014 that Petraa began to start her Musical journey full force again. Petraa met up with Raymond“ Dizzle” Cunningham from“ Dizzle Entertainment” and Christopher Coombs of“ Di Lab Records” in Exchange, whom she has known for many years and has since embarked on her new project, her
Debut album.
