ALEXIS LYNN (she/her)is an Indigenous singer-songwriter from Surrey, British Columbia, with family roots in Caldwell First Nation.

A captivating performer with honeyed vocals and an edge underneath it, Alexis crafts deceptively sweet pop anthems that never shy away from her ethos of honesty and empowerment. Inspired by the worlds of Pop and R&B, her ultra-catchy music radiates confidence and examines our insecurities in equal measure.

Alexis goes deeper than ever on her latest project: a multi-faceted exploration of mental health and its effects on our lives and relationships, that promises to be her most personal work yet.

Alexis Lynn’s impressive streak of singles, and most recently the release of her album “Real Talk”, has shown off her vocal chops and aesthetic range. The multifaceted exploration of mental health is a true collection of pop bangers and soulful confessions – including her single “Fall Apart,” charting at No. 5 on the Indigenous Music Countdown – Real Talk is Alexis Lynn’s most authentic, raw work to date. Her discography runs the gamut from the dance music-inflected “Ghosts” (a bare, anthemic meditation on vulnerability and insecurity) to the club-friendly buoyancy of “Bubble” (a flirtatious trap-pop bop about emotional availability).

Alexis Lynn’s uplifting, affirming music might be the perfect balm for the interim; in an era defined by distance, what could be better than songs that make us feel a little less alone? Learn more about the artist and catch her up on her website, www.alexislynnmusic.com
