Gabrielle Papillon is looking at a life in music differently.
Gabrielle Papillon is an award-winning Canadian musician and songwriter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. To date she has recorded six albums.
Papillon’s songwriting has previously focused on storytelling, both true and fictional, and has become more broad, cinematic, and thematic over the course of her most recent releases.
Her fourth album, Little Bug, was nominated for a 2013 ECMA for Folk Recording of the year, and three Music Nova Scotia Awards (SOCAN Songwriter of the Year, Folk Recording of the Year, and Female Artist Recording of the Year) after spending three months in the national Earshot charts.
Little Bug was also named one of the Top 12 Albums of 2012 on CBC Radio’s Atlantic Airwaves and Papillon was a Mountain Stage Newsong Regional finalist in 2012 for the song Go Into the Night.
Her fifth, award-winning, album The Tempest of Old (2015) charted on Canadian national campus radio, CBC Radio 2, and the international iTunes Singer-Songwriter charts.
Her music has been featured on CBC’s Deep Roots, Vinyl Café, and Drive and her songs have also appeared in film and television in Canada, Australia, and the United States.
She returned in 2017 with new album Keep the Fire, produced by Daniel Ledwell and mixed by Corey LeRue of Neon Dreams.
