Ansley Simpson is a Toronto-based Anishinaabe singer-songwriter and inaugural winner of the BullsEye Media Emerging Artist award from ImagineNATIVE and Slaight Music. Her much anticipated debut album "Breakwall" is a gentle, powerful collection of songs that showcase her lilting vocals, clear melodic sensibility, and intricate guitar playing to moving effect. Ansley immerses the listener in a swelling, soft symphony of emotion that builds in gentle intensity over the course of the album's nine tracks. She is a natural performer, holding audiences spellbound with her haunting vocals and poetics.
Her performances include sets at Small World in the Park, the Northern Lights Festival Boréal, the Toronto Bicycle Festival, Drake Underground, The Garnet, and The Cornerstone.
