Life
Career
Képinski was the winner of the Francouvertes competition in 2017. Képinski released her debut EP, EP, later that year and received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination in the French division for the song "Apprendre à mentir".[3]
She followed up in 2018 with her debut album Premier juin,[4] which was longlisted for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.[5]
In 2022 Képinski released her sophomore album Depuis which was also a longlist nominee for the 2022 Polaris Music Prize.[6] She notes that the album thematically explores the start of her music career following the success of Premier juin and adjusting to touring and increased visibility.[7] Drag culture is a major influence on Depuis though Képinski says she does not seek to emulate the style directly out of respect for drag performers.[2] Her first concert performance for Depuis was at South by Southwest.[2]
