Биография

She’s a skilled and sought-after collaborator at her core, sharing countless stages and recording credits with some of Canada’s best-known artists; now, PEI indie pop powerhouse KINLEY has adapted that approach into her solo work – and is delivering the most compelling material of her decorated career as a result. Daylight, her third full-length release, is something of a masterclass in musical dynamism. The album flows effortlessly from tropically tinged indie pop to affecting folk to driving dance music and much in between. Daylight finds her working with Paper Lions guitarist and award-winning producer Colin Buchanan, country music kingmaker Jason Barry, songstress Steph Copeland, East Pointers guitarist Jake Charron, and Juno-nominated Maïa Davies. KINLEY is a member of Hey Rosetta!, and has had stints and studio sessions with the likes of Kathleen Edwards, Fortunate Ones, Rose Cousins, Jenn Grant, Laurent Bourque, Madison Violet, David Myles, and Matt Mays, to name a few. She earned multiple ECMA and Music PEI Awards, had songs propel major ad campaigns, and used her growing popularity and platform to draw international awareness to causes close to her heart – particularly those focused on women’s rights and prosperity, becoming a community leader and revered public voice in the process. Now, she has a growing faction of followers eager to hear any music or message she might send through its capsule, and Daylight does right by them all.
