Alessia Cara had *big* 2016. She toured all over the world, she made a powerful no-makeup statement and she collaborated with Troye Sivan. She's the kind of artist you feel like you could be best friends with (TBH, we're crossing our fingers that one day that'll happen). Now, the Radio Disney Next Big Thing artist is bringing it back to basics to talk about her beginnings, her inspo and connecting with her fans.

"The main thing I've discovered is how fulfilling it is to be able to show other people that they're not alone. We all need each other," Alessia says. "And so, I hope that I can not only connect me and the listener, but, just everyone with what I say." Watch below for more!

We adore how down to earth this singer-songwriter is, and can't wait to see all the big things she does in 2017!
