Biographical history
Ansley Simpson is a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabe musician, artist and member of Alderville First Nation known for poetic lyrics, deeply moving vocal-only performances, and immersive arrangements. The Tkaronto-based musician garnered two Indigneous Music Nominations and won Best New Artist in 2018 for their debut album “Breakwall”. In 2021, their collaborative work on Leanne Betasamosake Simpson’s album “Theory of Ice'' landed a coveted place on the shortlist for the Polaris Prize. Ansley’s a natural performer that holds audiences spellbound with story-telling embedded both in and out of their songs. Their songwriting process was featured in an episode of APTN’s Indigenous Music series “Amplify'' for their single “Firewater” and their original score enlivened the powerful message throughout Tanya Talaga’s award-winning documentary “Spirit to Soar''. Ansley’s highly anticipated sophomore album “She Fell from the Sky'' is a journey through Indigenous reclamation out now, on their label Gizhiiwe (GIH jzee way).
