Macedonia-Born, Toronto-Based Artist Channels Journey from Trauma to Healing in Achingly Honest Track
Macedonia-born, Toronto-based artist Betty Strings (Elizabeth Anne Cook) unveils "Trust Myself," a powerfully vulnerable new single that transforms years of trauma and healing into an anthem of self-reclamation.
Co-written with 2007 Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo and songwriter Paul William Stephens, and brought to life by the instrumental artistry of Matt Fasullo on banjo, the track emerged from an extraordinary creative process where Cook channeled her story in real time during Zoom writing sessions.
