DEJA

Story

My name is Déja I am 22 years old, and a proud Canadian from London, Ontario! I was raised by two musical parents, and I have a very musical family. I have been incredibly blessed to have grown up around such beautiful music 24/7. I can honestly say I love all genres of music which makes it hard for me to want to be placed into one category. For now, my songs fit into the pop and singer/songwriter genre. I and was taught how to play guitar at the age of six and soon after I started performing live at school events and at local sporting events. My dream has been to share my art and stories with the world. Writing songs and poetry is my therapy and my escape. To this day, picking up a pen and a guitar is my favorite way to make music. It’s the only way I feel I can truly communicate and express my emotions. I love telling stories and getting inspired by others and everything around me as well. Music heals and it has healed me. I hope someday my music can help someone too.
