In today's episode, we have another world traveler, Aysanabee, whom I met during his tour in Taiwan for the Jade Music Fest. In the first part of our interview, we will discuss his meeting with my last-week's guest, Tennyson, and his journey to Taiwan. We'll also talk about his rituals before the show to prepare mentally and how he began playing guitar.

Aysanabee is a multi-JUNO Award–winning Indigenous (Oji-Cree) singer-songwriter whose music blends alternative, indie-folk, and rock influences into a sound that is both intimate and expansive. Known for his emotionally resonant songwriting and unmistakable voice, Aysanabee has quickly become one of Canada’s most compelling contemporary artists, earning national acclaim for his artistry and storytelling.

Aysanabee’s music has garnered widespread critical praise and industry recognition. From “Nomads” and “Somebody Else” to “Home”, his music has become a staple on Canadian alternative and alt-rock formats while receiving consistent airplay across commercial radio, CBC and SiriusXM. His ability to connect deeply with listeners has made tracks like “Dream Catcher” standouts, with the original version, released last summer, becoming a fan favorite and a defining moment of his recent tours.

Renowned for his powerful live performances, Aysanabee has built a reputation as a must-see artist on stage. Whether performing in intimate theatres or on major festival stages, his shows are marked by raw honesty, magnetic presence, and a rare emotional connection with audiences. His now global performance history has created a loyal fan base and made him a standout performer across the country.

Continuing this momentum, Aysanabee has just announced Timelines, a new EP reimagining fan-favorite songs, set for release on March 20th. Two tracks, “Nomads (Timelines Acoustic)” and “Dream Catcher (Acoustic)” are already available digitally, offering a stripped-back, deeply personal glimpse into the songs that have defined his journey.
