As a recording artist, songwriter, producer, facilitator, and yoga teacher, Desirée is driven by a passion for collective liberation and care. She was born and raised in BC and that is still where she calls home. Her presence in the music industry became known in 2016 when she won CBC’s Searchlight contest. She is a 2x SXSW music video winner at the 2022 SXSW awards and was nominated for a Juno-Award for adult contemporary album of the year for her album Meet You At The Light in 2022. One of Desirée’s most recent highlights has been her song I Am Blessed going viral on TikTok and Instagram. Desirée released a short, self-produced, version of the song in 2023 which has garnered over 3 million streams on Spotify alone, and a full length version that came out Oct 25th 2024. With her powerful voice as her main instrument, Desirée often accompanies it with her baritone ukulele or body percussion but also plays with a band. Desirée's main instrument is her voice and she has a passion for harmonizing and singing with others. She is a genre bender and she blends folk, soul, pop, Americana, and old-time country influences into her creations, though she often labels her music as 'singer-songwriter' for simplicity.
