From her website:

“Casey Mecija has been a fixture in Toronto’s music scene for the last decade. In the mide 2000s, she helped turn her moe on Bellwoods Avenue into a community hub for young musicians and artits, insisting that an ethos of collaboration and collectivity was better than the pressures of an industry driven by capital and market trends.”

She was part of Obijou, an orchestral-pop band in Toronto. Casey Mecija has a PhD in Gender Studies, and is the host of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s “The Doc Project”.
