Bio

After a childhood spent in the opera world with the Canadian Children’s Opera Company, pivoted to busking in downtown Toronto when the pandemic closed the doors on live theatre. Now, she is developing a career in indie folk music around Ann Arbor, while she pursues a music degree from the University of Michigan. 

As the daughter of a born-and-bred Canadian and an American peacenik, her multi-instrumental songwriting draws inspiration from American music of the 70s and the indie music of today with a mezzo folk tone like Gillian Welch and jazz inclinations reminiscent of Joni Mitchell. Her solo show and upcoming album ,“People of the Earth and Sea”, tells stories of people and places in a modern technological world. At just 20 years old, she brings a contemporary edge to the timeless music tradition of American folk music, having quickly brought her to the forefront of the Southeast Michigan folk scene.
