Career
Frost started writing at age 14. She started putting melodies to a poetry at 19 years of age. She left her music degree after two years to hit the road and has been working as a singer-songwriter, performer and recording artist ever since.
She moved to Vancouver with a bunch of Quebec garage rockers in 1993 and busked on the street with a swingabilly band called The Colorifics. Eventually they moved up into playing art galleries, parties and concert halls building a groundswell and a considerable West Coast following over the next four years.
Upon return to Toronto, Frost met and married José Miguel Contreras of By Divine Right in 2003. They went on together to write, record, produce, engineer and perform her next five records.
