Of Candor is a folk/pop artist based in Kelowna British Columbia - located on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the syilx/Okanagan people. Her music has previously earned her an Edmonton Music Awards nomination and a main stage slot at Kaleido Family Arts Festival. With captivating melodies and dreamy textures, Of Candor’s music is introspective and catchy; her songwriting is influenced by folk and pop artists Colbie Calliat, Donovan Woods, and Lizzy McAlpine. The lyrics of her songs accessibly capture an inner dialogue shaped by themes of doubt, discovery, and growth. It is through these feelings of darkness that we can begin to bring in our own light.
Growing up as an introvert and the youngest of five children, she could often be found quietly writing in her bedroom – be it music, fictional stories, or in her journal. She continues to explore art and expression of the human experience through her music. To date, Of Candor has shared the stage with such talented acts as Luca Fogale, Scenic Route to Alaska, wiL, and Josh Sahunta in venues and festivals in Alberta. She has also been featured on local TV through Shaw TV's, "Edmonton Unplugged".
