Mallory Chipman

Canada

With 5 records to her name and successful tours across Canada, Europe, and Japan, Canadian singer-songwriter Mallory Chipman is forging new paths on the music scene. Her genre-bending tendencies, powerful sound, and story-driven songwriting has been described as “some of the finest folk rock currently being made” (Amplify Music Magazine) and has set her apart as “a rising light in Canadian music” (NewTec Radio).

Also known as one half of the rising alt-country duo The Goddamsels, Mallory Chipman is a true raconteuse, praised for her work as both a solo artist and collaborator, and for her skills as a songwriter, arranger, producer, and music scholar. She spent 7 years on music faculty at her alma mater, MacEwan University, where she held the position of Section Head, Voice and also taught songwriting, before going fully freelance. She completed her Masters of Music with distinction from the London College of Music with a special focus on zoomusicology, specifically the interpretation of birdsong as music.

Mallory makes music about life, about place, about experience — in this sense, her compositions reflect humanity, while remaining vulnerable and personal. Her catalogue seamlessly traverses styles including folk, jazz, country, pop, rock, and experimental music, and has garnered attention from audiences and industry alike.

Her recently released LP, Songs to a Wild God, has been praised for the way it explores thoughtful impressions on the environment we inhabit, and our place amidst the wild. It has topped charts and led Mallory to tour Asia, Europe, and several times in Canada. She has been an official showcase artists at Folk Alliance International, North by Northeast, Breakout West, Arts Touring Alliance, Alberta Focus, and more.
