Lights is a Canadian electropop musician, singer, and songwriter. Some of her notable singles include Ice", "Second Go", and "Toes". In 2009, she was awarded the Juno Award for New Artist of the Year.Lights was born Valerie Anne Poxleitner in Timmins, Ontario, the daughter of missionary parents. She spent much of her childhood in many parts of the world, including the Philippines, Jamaica, Ontario and British Columbia. Poxleitner attended Chesley District High School and John Diefenbaker High School before moving to Toronto. She moved to Toronto at the age of 18 during which time she legally changed her name to Lights.

Lights started her career being a writer for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Lights was among the songwriters who composed music for the television series Instant Star. She and Luke McMaster are credited with composing "Perfect", sung in the role of Jude Harrison on the show by Alexz Johnson.

In late 2006, she worked with Canadian photographer Marc Lostracco to film her very first music video, "February Air", for a Sony promotion. However, Sony never confirmed with the deal, and it never happened. She was discovered by Jian Ghomeshi who is still her manager.

The single "Toes" was released on Aug 16, 2011 as the first single to Lights' second studio album, Siberia. After signing with Last Gang Records her album was delayed due to criticism from the label executives. Though reluctant to tell full details of delays, the shift in style to a more gritty sound was a risk worried about by Last Gang Records. The full-length album was released online in US and Canada on Oct 4, 2011 and went on iTunes stores in Australia on October 28. Siberia received positive reviews from many critics and was nominated for a Juno Award for Best Pop Album of the Year. Lights says her favourite song on Siberia is "Flux and Flow"

In July 2012, Lights' husband revealed that she was working on an acoustic version of Siberia. She seconded this by posting a photo on Twitter shortly after with a piano and acoustic guitars with the caption "My station today. Kind of intimidating..." The release date of the album or EP is unknown, but is rumored to be early 2013.

Lights will appear once again on the new Bring Me the Horizon's album Sempiternal to be released in 2013. As reported by "Music Feeds", Lights said "“It’s good doing something different from what I normally do. Any kind of distance is hard but I went out for a little bit.” and she claimed to enjoy the challenge.
