Haley Blais

Haley Blais is a Canadian singer-songwriter crafting defiant, scream-into-your-pillow anthems since 2014. She first built a devoted following as a teenager through diaristic YouTube videos and tender ukulele covers, inviting listeners into her candid inner world. Since then, she has evolved from solo beginnings to fronting a five-piece band with a guitar-driven indie pop sound.

Her 2020 debut album, Below the Salt, produced with Tennis and Louise Burns, delivered jangly yet emotionally sharp songs that resonated widely. The release earned millions of streams and strong critical support, leading to sold-out tours across the UK, Europe, and the United States.

Now signed to the Arts & Crafts label, Blais has grown into a singular voice, capturing both the absurdity and beauty of everyday life. Her lyrics explore restlessness, acceptance, and the desire to build a life that feels genuinely fulfilling.

On stage, Blais’ confidence is unmatched, her band filling rooms with a warm, folksy soul. On record, her poetic trains of thought trace vulnerability, while live performances reveal the full nuance and depth of her musicianship.

Her sophomore album, Wisecrack earned a spot on the 2024 Polaris Music Prize Long List, cementing her as one of Canada’s most compelling indie voices. -DS
