WP:BLP of a musician, whose claims of notability per WP:NMUSIC are not "inherently" notable enough to withstand how little reliable source coverage she actually has. The strongest notability claim here is that her sole recorded EP peaked at #10 on the charts -- but that peak wasn't on the Canadian Albums Chart, but actually on the Canadian Emerging Artists Chart, which is Canada's equivalent to Heatseekers and thus not a notability-making chart.
The next best notability claim is a single which did well at adult contemporary radio -- but that was a duet with another singer who has a strong enough notability claim that his article isn't going anywhere, not a solo single, so any information we need about it can be contained in his article without needing a virtually unsourceable BLP of her to exist alongside it. And otherwise, what's left is a couple of other singles that grazed the very low reaches of the Canadian Hot 100, peaking at positions far too low to confer instant notability freebies in the absence of adequate sourceability.
But the only references here are a discogs.com entry and her own self-published press release about herself, neither of which are notability-making sources, and even on a search for legitimate media coverage all I can find is a two-article blip of "local singer tries to make it" in her hometown media at the time of the EP's release, which isn't enough to clinch passage of WP:GNG if it's all she's got. She hasn't stayed active as a recording artist in the intervening decade, so there's no likely prospect of improved coverage happening in the near future either -- if she does achieve something more notable in the future, then an article can obviously be recreated at that time, but nothing here is already "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have quite a bit more reliable source coverage than she has.
