BIO
Kansas-lee epitomizes solo artistry complete; intuitive and vulnerable songwriting, delivered with conviction and strength, with a voice that pours out from the depths of her soul like honey. Paired with rythmic guitar playing, her music resonates through the heart, echoing truth and inspiring movement. She’s been honing her craft for the past 10 years, emerging as the true artist and songwriting she’s been growing into since childhood. In recent years she has self produced three albums, being warmly received across Canada, California, England, and Spain. Her new album, “Ostara”, is written with themes of freedom, resilience, and empathy, plucked from the ether and told through her own eyes, feeling compelled to shed light on our shadows.
