Émilie Landry is a bilingual singer-songwriter from Campbellton in northern New Brunswick. A country-folk artist, she draws her inspiration from major female figures in American country such as Dolly Parton, The Chicks, Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, who in her eyes embody integrity, success and strength of character. With a pen that's both sincere and light, she sings about life's little joys and big upheavals, touching her audience deeply with the exceptional mastery of her voice.

Since her professional debut in 2017 with the release of her first EP Être social, produced by French artist Daran, Émilie has quickly established herself on the Canadian music scene. Tracks such as “Tomber dedans” (with Émilie and Les City Folks) and “Embrasse un miroir”, marked the start of a promising rise, propelling her songs into the Acadian Top 40 on Atlantic radio. At the same time, Émilie has made her mark in prestigious competitions such as the Gala de la chanson de Caraquet, the Festival international de la chanson de Granby, Ma première place des arts and Destination Chanson Fleuve. She also has an academic background, with a diploma in professional music and song technique, pop and jazz vocal profile, obtained in Quebec.

In 2020, her album Arroser les fleurs, produced by Éric Dion, marked a turning point in her career. Launched virtually on May 8, 2020, the project revealed a new maturity in both lyrics and sound. Her “Bouillir d'la misère” video even won Best Lockdown Video at the Canadian Independent Music Video Awards. Her style, both refined and authentic, becomes even more pronounced with her latest album Enfiler mes bottes (2022), which explores down-to-earth sounds and raw truth.

The year 2023 has been particularly significant for Émilie, with nominations at the East Coast Music Awards in the Francophone Recording and Country Recording of the Year categories, as well as a GAMIQ nomination in the Hors Québec category. Her single Lazy boy and its video were highlighted at the MNB Awards. She has also taken part in prestigious creative residencies such as Les Chemins d'écriture prennent le large, and was invited to the Judy Stakee Songwriting Retreats in Nashville, reinforcing her songwriting expertise. She shared the stage with Maxime Landry on the ROSEQ summer tour of Quebec, and was chosen as spokesperson for Accros de la chanson, underlining her commitment to the new generation of artists.

In 2024, Émilie continued to expand her resume with a tour of France, including shows in Paris as part of the Olympic Games, and the release of the single Let it go, a duet co-written with Max Bujold. Nominated for the Prix MNB in the Video of the Year category for J'mérite mieux, she also took part in the Journées québécoises de la francophonie canadienne, and shined in co-headlining performances with Céleste Lévis and Véronique Bilodeau for the “Des lacs à l'océan” summer shows.

Émilie Landry has performed on over 150 stages in Canada, Europe and Louisiana, captivating a wide variety of audiences. Her tours of France and Switzerland, as well as her official showcases at events such as Francofête en Acadie, the Canadian Folk Music Awards, the East Coast Music Awards, and Folk Alliance International, bear witness to her growing influence on the international scene. She has been invited to major events such as the Festival International de Louisiane in Lafayette, and has performed at the Pavillon Acadie.

Through her albums Être social (2017), Arroser les fleurs (2020) and Enfiler mes bottes (2022), Émilie continues to make her way up the radio charts, expanding her audience and consolidating her bond with a loyal following. Winner of the International Songwriters Day Song Contest with Isn't that beautiful? she is now more than ever a rising star on the Acadian music scene. With an authenticity and sensitivity that shine through in every note and lyric, Émilie Landry is an artist to watch closely on the Canadian and international music scene.
