SEMIAH

Multidisciplinary Mohawk artist Semiah creates synth-laced dark-pop anthems for reckless nights out and confessional torch songs for the morning after. Her distinctive alpine vocal style, cinematic lyricism, and emotionally charged performances shimmer with Haudenosaunee influences. As Under the Radar (UK) writes, “Semiah is a fascinating performer who transcends genres; we’re predicting big things ahead.” It’s the vulnerability of Charli XCX, the melancholic intensity of Lady Gaga, and the genre-bending spirit of SZA.

Semiah is having a breakout year: winning a DORA Award for Outstanding Composer, being named an audience favourite at Sweden’s VIVA Sounds Festival, supporting Aysanabee and Jully Black, and releasing her sophomore EP LVR GRL through AWAL. The EP features the heartfelt “DED 2 ME,” mixed by JUNO and Polaris Prize-winning producer Gus van Go (The Beaches, Metric, Arkells), and the alt-pop banger “Clementine,” which earned Song of the Day by earshot! and Track of the Week by the Songwriters Association of Canada. The official video for “Clementine,” released in February 2026, offers an innovative indigenous take on the cult classic film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Her music has been playlisted on CBC Radio, SiriusXM, and The Journey FM, and spotlighted on Indigenous tv.
