Jepsen describes this as 'the happiest time in her life' she slept on a pull-out sofa, wrote songs in her downtime with a guitar her parents gave her, and 'performed multiple nights a week at musician-friendly holes in the wall'. She worked at Trees Organic CoffeeВ as a barista and pastry chef assistant, starting its open mic night. She was one of 25 female students to gain admission into its year-long program: 'It was very clear to me after that school, as much fun as I had, I really did want to pursue more of a purely musical career rather than acting and all the dancing.' ДЄfter graduation, Jepsen relocated to Vancouver's west side, and was fortunate to hold several jobs. Her high school drama teacher, Beverly Holmes, persuaded her to audition for the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, British Columbia. She applied to music-related programs, including those at Capilano University and the University of British Columbia. Her parents and stepparents were teachers, so Jepsen considered a career in music instruction as a second option. She attended Heritage Park Secondary School, and she pursued her passion for musical theatre by appearing in student productions of Annie, Grease, and The Wiz, playing the respective lead roles of Annie, Sandy Olsson and Dorothy Gale. Jepsen has an older brother, Colin, and a younger sister, Katie. She is of Danish, English and Scottish descent. Jepsen was born in Mission, British Columbia, to Alexandra Lanzarotta and Larry Jepsen, the second of their three children.
