Carsen Gray
50 miles off the coast of mainland British Columbia, you’ll find Haida Gwaii. This collection of islands serves as home to just shy of 5,000 residents who all contribute to its quiet magic. Seemingly removed from the rest of the world, yet intrinsically connected to its rawest essence, Carsen Gray calls this place home. Born of Haida Indigenous and mixed descent, the award- winning singer and songwriter commutes the peace of her surroundings into a soulful sound spiked with R&B energy, pop universality, and a twist of local spirit. After making waves across Canada, she introduces herself to the world on her 2022 debut EP Each Moment which was featured on Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and at JunoFest.
During 2020, her single “Sah‘ Laana” and its intimate accompanying music video caught the attention of Nettwerk Music Group, and she signed to the label. Throughout 2021, she assembled the EP with her husband and is now touring and creating beautiful new music.
