Roxanna is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has an unusual backstory.
Her music came about from her career as a nurse in Toronto. As a nurse, she would sing to her patients and often the healing sound of her voice would help their quality of life and, in some cases, help with their healing.
The duo “Splash’N Boots” (who hail from Ontario) formed in 2003 when Tess and Nick wrote some children’s tunes for a class project at Queen’s University in Kingston. Since then they have been voted "Canadian Children’s Group of the Year", performed over 700 shows in six different countries, and released five CD’s, and two full-length DVDs.
