Kylie Fox

Kylie Fox is a Canadian singer songwriter, touring and recording artist. She fuses folk storytelling with vintage elements of jazz and alternative rock. With influences like Kate Bush, Sharon Van Etten, and Joni Mitchell, her music is ethereal, lush and real. She has toured Canada, showcased at the East Coast Music Awards, Canada Music Week, Folk Alliance International and the Banff Centre for the Arts, and opened for artists such as Bahamas, Matt Minglewood, The Strumbellas and Joel Plaskett.

Kylie is preparing to release her second studio album, Sequoia, developed with her band and six-time ECMA-winning producer, Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Fortunate Ones, The Good Lovelies). Sequoia is deeply rooted in folk-Canadiana elements that have characterized Fox’s career, while also exploring folk-rock and jazz-pop fusion.“The eleven songs that make up Sequoia are reflections on gratitude in relation to the women in my life, my environment, my relationships, and myself.” says Fox of the forthcoming album. The title Sequoia refers to the source of inspiration for the project which struck upon a news story that told of firefighters working throughout the night to prevent a Sequoia tree from burning in a forest fire. “It resonated with me how severely nature and time have been taken for granted.” concludes Fox. Like Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”, the collection of songs on Sequoia acknowledge moments when something was taken for granted.
