Holdin’ it down with Lights! Lights hails from Toronto, Canada and she’s awesome! She plays keyboards and loves World of Warcraft. Not only is she beautiful, but this girl can SING! She’s about to embark on a tour with Owl City and I caught her on a headlining show she played on Long Island. “Lights” is apparently her real first name, but her parents aren’t hippies. She’s quite honestly one of the nicest and most genuine people that I’ve ever met. Lights should probably move to NY/LI so we can hang out. Just SAYIN! CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO CHECK OUT HER NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “ICE”!!
