Alessia Cara, The Pains of Growing Tour with Special Guest Ryland James

2018’s “Best New Artist” Grammy Award Winning Canadian singer/songwriter and Def Jam Recordings artist Alessia Cara emerged onto the music scene in 2015 with her first release, Here, a global anthem that grabbed the world’s attention when it garnered over 500,000 streams on Soundcloud in its first week. Here went on to become Spotify’s Most Viral Song of 2015, selling over 3 million copies. Her five-track EP, Four Pink Walls, soon followed, leading to the release of her RIAA platinum debut album KNOW-IT-ALL (November 2015). Alessia’s multi-platinum #1 hit single of 2016, Scars to Your Beautiful, was her gut-wrenching take on female identity, on body image and on deleterious behaviors in the name of beauty. Stay, her #1 hit with Zedd, sold over 2 million copies and received Song Of The Summerraves. Also in 2016, Alessia lent her voice to How Far I’ll Go, penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the official song for Disney’s animated film Moana. The 4x-platinum 1-800-273-8255, her historic collaboration with fellow Def Jam artist Logic, was one of 2017’s landmark singles with over 4 billion streams worldwide, contributing to her being named the most-streamed new female artist of 2017. Growing Pains (June 2018), was the prelude to Alessia’s second album, her critically acclaimed THE PAINS OF GROWING (released in November), which included the follow-up single releases Trust My Lonely and Out Of Love.
