Alli Walker: Music With a Conscience

Country music singer Alli Walker exchanged anxiety for authenticity

Share

PEI-native singer/songwriter Alli Walker has performed in venues across North America for the better part of a decade. But she’s just now opening up about a surprising fact: she’s fought a lifelong battle with crippling anxiety. In childhood—whether she was over for dinner at a friend’s house or at school—Walker spent time locked in the washroom throwing up due to intense anxiety. Later in life, Walker’s early dinner dates with her now-husband followed this familiar routine. Despite having to consistently confront these challenges, Walker eventually became a singer, model, and actress. Now 29 years old, she recalls moments in her early twenties when she was sick before a performance while they were calling her name on stage.
