Semiah hails from Six Nations and is based in Tkoronto. She's an Alt Pop artist-producer who writes infectious songs about love, fear, resilience, and recklessness. Quirky conversational lyrics marry with iconic melodies and sonic architecture that gleams like electro punk skyscrapers and sparkles like ambient celestial firestorms.
As a deluge of artists seek to be the next viral sensation, Semiah is a breath of fresh mountain air. From intimate solo club shows to large soft seater theatres, encores & standing ovations are common. She's as natural on stage - where she's spent 20 of her 25 years - performing in her handmade cowgrrl glam as she is chopping firewood. Like a flirty dervish story-teller who can tear your heart out with side eye giggle, Semiah causes concert goers to swoon. But don't let the playful edge fool you, Semiah has more spiritual depth than most twice her age.
Semiah's debut single 'Nothing Can Kill My Love for You' garnered over 100,000 streams and tracks from debut EP 'After The Night Ends' continue to be featured on CBC radio programs such as Here & Now, AfterDark and Drive with Rich Terfry.
New single release 'Withdrawals', is an electro pop punk love-gone-wrong song co-produced with Montreal collaborator Teleh0rn. Production features include traditional Haudenosaunee vocal techniques and innovative metallic elements that align with the accompanying video's Katana sword fight choreography. Semiah produced, directed, choreographed, edited and created wardrobe for the video that features pink power puff vigilante characters stepping out of the snowy mountains like an Indigenous Charlie's Angels with a punk anime edge. Upcoming EP 'LVR GRL' will lay bare all the secrets in this songstress's heart.
Recent performance highlights include Fusion Festival 2024 mainstage in British Columbia, International Indigenous Music Summit in Toronto, ImagiNATIVE film festival and an epic multi-media concert with dancers, custom designed visuals, electronic tracks and live band for 1300 enthusiastic high school students at the Mississauga Living Arts Centre in September 2024.
Beyond commanding the stage with her songs, Semiah is also a dance choreographer and set designer who custom creates experiences for audiences, with guest dancers and backing tracks of her own creation. She handcrafts original wardrobe and weaves theatrical storylines that follow the music, engaging audiences with her signature effervescence, courage and charm.
With an innate ability to envision and manifest sonic and visual concepts, Semiah is not just a music artist dabbling in visual arts; she's an innovative visual artist who happens to also be a great music artist.
