Meet Deandra

Deandra Dey is a Manitoba born singer songwriter currently residing in the foothills of Riding Mountain National park with her two small children and partner. Deandra is passionate about facilitating connection with self, others and nature and does this through her work as a counselling therapist, yoga instructor, podcast host and musician. When she’s not writing and playing music, Deandra works as a counsellor at Grit and Growth Wellness, a counselling practice she co-founded with her best friend Karli Brodeur.

Deandra is creatively driven by the stories of human experience and resilience she hears and creatively weaves these intimate themes into her songs. She has been able to bridge her passion for community and music by incorporating a participatory art project named "Letters" into her live performance.

Deandra’s folk sound is grounded in her early exposure to more complex styles of artists like Joni Mitchell. More recently, Deandra draws inspiration from artists such as Feist, Gill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Chet Faker and Meg Mac. She is trained in both classical and contemporary voice; yet her tone remains unrefined.

In 2016 Deandra Dey received a Demo Recording Grant from Factor Canada and with this funding released her debut EP “Letters”. Since the release of her debut EP Deandra Dey has released several singles including “Take it Easy”, “Still Dreaming”, “Wait and See” and most recently “These days” which bodes folky tones, groovy beats and silky vocals. In 2021 Deandra was nominated for “Kamloops Artist of the Year” and in recent years has had the pleasure of playing Arts Wells Festival, Kamloops BrewLoops, and Christina Lake Homecoming, to name a few.

In 2022 Deandra Dey is set to release her newest single "Shaken it” which is inspired by an old celtic song “Dance to Your Shadow”. This track features layered counterpart vocals in an upbeat mix that will have you singing along in no time. 

 You can find her music on Spotify, iTunes and CD Baby.
