Kelsi Mayne, one of Canada’s most decorated independent artists, is known for her powerhouse vocals, genre-bending sound, and explosive live shows. Born in Windsor, Ontario-just across the river from Detroit, Kelsi blends country roots with Motown soul, hip-hop, and rock edge. After nearly a decade writing in Nashville, she has developed a signature style that bridges audiences and crosses genres, appealing to mainstream country and contemporary listeners alike. A former nationally ranked sprint-hurdler, Kelsi brings that same drive and discipline to her career. She has earned three CMAOntario nominations, was a SitiusXM Top of the Country contest finalist, and is the 2024 International Songwriting Competition winner. Her breakout single ‘Breaking Bad’, produced by Ryan Stewart reached the Top 50 at the Canadian Country Radio in 2025, helping push her catalogue past 3 million streams. She has played nearly every major country festival in Canada from Cavendish Beach Music Festival to Big Valley Jamboree, and is the only fully independent artist repeatedly invited back to Boots and Hearts (5x) and the Calgary Stampede(4x). Known for her commanding energy, crowd interaction, she consistently delivers high-impact festival sets that convert new fans and create lasting audience engagement.
