Not even a year since dropping her first song and 21-year-old local artist Talia Sargent is already being recognized in the music industry.

She may be new on the scene but she's definitely being seen, there's no doubt about that! 

Growing up in Okotoks you may have seen her perfecting her craft as a figure skater, or even in recent years taking her dancing background to Tik Tok.

But with the pandemic in play last year, her creative outlets have been limited (there are only so many Tik Toks you can do, right!?).

So she tried her hand at something she had access to, something she's loved doing since a kid: singing and songwriting.

I caught up with Talia last week and we talked everything from what inspires her as a song-writer, being nominated for a YYC Music award and not even knowing it as well as her dream collaboration... check it out:

Here's Talia's new music video, that dropped the day we talked, for her song 'Forever & a Day' :

So good! Can't wait to see what's next for her. =)
