BIOGRAPHY

Elyse Aeryn makes music for the wild hearts - those who crave connection, catharsis, and a little rebellion. Serving soulful roots-rock with a gritty edge, her songs feel like the windows rolled down on a late-night drive—equal parts raw power and tender reflection. With fierce vocals and heartfelt storytelling, Elyse delivers performances that hit you where it hurts yet heal you by her next breath.
Whether you discovered her on a TikTok scroll or her voice found you through the radio airwaves, know this: there's a depth behind that first impression—a catalog full of hard-won truths, fearless energy, and moments that will make you feel seen.
She’s not just building momentum, she commands it. Elyse was crowned Music Nova Scotia’s Entertainer of the Year in 2024, named a 2023 Wavemaker Ambassador for the Halifax JUNO Awards, and voted Best New Artist in The Coast’s Best of Halifax reader poll. Her recent single “Cowboy” spent 15 weeks in the Billboard Canadian Country Top 100, peaking at #79 in January 2025, and hit #1 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown in April. She also saw radio success with her prior single “Criminal,” which topped CIOE 97.5 FM’s Top 100 songs of 2023.
An undeniable talent from the start, her debut album Joy State of Mind earned an East Coast Music Association nomination for Rock Recording of the Year and won Country Recording of the Year at the Music Nova Scotia Awards. Now known across the Maritimes for her dynamic stage presence and compelling vocal delivery, Elyse has quickly become one of Atlantic Canada’s most promising breakout acts—an artist with the talent, determination, and heart's fire to go the distance.
Now she’s doubling down. Elyse’s sophomore album released February 26 2026. Recorded at Soundpark Studios in Sydney, Nova Scotia alongside 15-time ECMA winner and 2024 ECMA Audio Engineer of the Year Jamie Foulds (Pretty Archie, Carmen Townsend), and fully mastered by Grammy-winner Harry Hess (Arkells, The Trews), “Everybody Loves You…" captures the soulful vocals, roots-rock edge, and pop sensibility that make Elyse Aeryn stand out. Reviving the spirit of the female rock archetype - Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett, Heart, Alanis - this is something music fans have been waiting for.
So far the album has been well received across genres, with its first single “Unstoppable,” ranking #1 on CIOE's Top 100 East Coast Songs Of 2025 and cracking both the Mediabase/Billboard Canada Active Rock and Country charts. The track was also featured by Rogers Sportsnet to soundtrack Canadian tennis sensation Vicky Mboko’s historic National Bank Open climb and eventual victory in Montreal the same year.
