Upon returning to Canada, Bouza invested in her songwriting career and immediately received recognition winning the 2019 Toronto Blues Society Talent Search and representing Toronto at the 2020 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Her EP “Three Years” received significant radio play in Canada, and her following FACTOR-funded album “Falling Away From Me” received Canadian radio play and rave reviews in Europe.
