Alessia Cara Music Quotations

I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know - especially young people, but really everyone - that you don't have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don't have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.

As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?

I've never really aspired to the spotlight; I just wanted to do music, which is kind of weird because music comes with that spotlight.

Music was something I found on my own. I got my first guitar when I was around 10, and it just all developed over time.

The only thing I'm really, truly good at is music - I just love it.

I was always told that music isn't a 'realistic' path to take, and like a normal human being, I doubted myself over and over because I was afraid of failure.
