	Description:		Juno-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez blew up nearly 10 years ago with a song called Figures. With her powerful voice, she eventually achieved worldwide success — something she’d dreamt about since she was a kid — but she soon discovered that the reality of fame wasn’t what she expected it to be. On her new album, Paid In Memories, Jessie chronicles how she learned that true happiness doesn’t come from money or stardom, but rather the memories we make with loved ones. She sits down with Tom Power to tell us what happens when you achieve your dreams and the view from the top isn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows.
