Singer-songwriter Rachella Wred is a West Coast transplant currently living in Montreal. Split between the ambience of the Montreal bustle and the pull of the Pacific Ocean, her personal lyrics and soaring melodies capture the delicacy and transience of human emotion with specificity and ease. Equipped with her acoustic guitar, SP404, synth, and intimate songwriting, she has filled rooms across Canada. Folk music and writing have given her the space to explore storytelling through music, drawing on the sounds of her surroundings and of the natural world. She has been featured in Exclaim, CBC, The Line of Best Fit, Billboard Canada, Range Magazine, and Montreal Guardian. Written around intimate endings and beginnings, Leave The Light On, released in April 2025, is Rachella Wred’s debut album. It has charted over 10 weeks on !earshot’s national campus and community radio report since it’s release and continues to gain momentum, resonating with listeners across the country.
