Michelle Calder is a Nova Scotian, HRM-based indie folk-pop singer-songwriter, who's been writing songs for over 27 years.  As an avid hiker/outdoorsy person, she loves writing songs that feature elements of nature, travel and adventure, while leading listeners through relatable experiences of love and loss. Fun fact: many of the lyrics written for her Wanderlust EP and for the upcoming album were written from the trunk of her car, as she car-camped out on solo adventures throughout the Canadian maritime provinces.

​

In her singing career, she's been a backup singer in a classic rock cover band, a studio harmony backer for various recording artists, a musical theatre thespian, (which is where she got her start at age 7!), a professional Christmas caroller, a wedding singer, a funeral soloist, a church choir member (for 21 years!), and a music director at a Catholic church. She's sung in bars, malls, concert halls, forums, museums, hotels, sooooo many churches, street corners, and even standing on a moving parade float. All of this... but nothing actually recorded for her own release... that is, until the summer of 2023 when she released her first single, "Stay"

​

With four singles and her first EP "Wanderlust" now out, and her first LP coming in 2025, Michelle is most certainly an emerging artist to watch out for!
