A young performer from Brampton will appear on the second episode of the new CTV music competition show The Launch on Wednesday, Jan 17.

Divine Lightbody, a high school student at St. Roch Catholic Secondary School in Brampton, currently resides in Mississauga and will compete against four other aspiring musical acts in the episode for a chance to record an original single written by a world-class songwriter.

“Divine Lightbody is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who enjoys various music genres including R&B, soul, hip-hop, pop and reggae. Despite the fact that no one in her Brampton household was musically inclined, she has loved music from a very young age,” reads her profile on the show’s website.

“Divine has also participated in activities such as Ngoma dancing and drumming and acted as the lead in Broadway Bound’s Grease production in 2011,” adds her profile.
