Q24:00Yes, Chantal Kreviazuk writes for Drake, Kendrick and Pitbull
If the name Chantal Kreviazuk makes you think of gentle piano music and intimate vocals, you need to update your files on this spirited Canadian songwriter.
Yes, she's written big, loud hits for Drake, Pitbull and Kendrick Lamar. Yes, she can do a Christina Aguilera impression on live radio. Yes, she just wants to feel this moment.
As part of our ongoing series The Hit Makers, the Winnipeg singer-songwriter brings high energy to studio q. She joins Shad to discuss the difference between making her own music and writing for other artists; why she asked Pink to give back some of her songs; and why "bright and sunny" people may also be in a lot of pain.
The two also discuss her first solo record in seven years, Hard Sail.
