Named an “Artist to Watch” by SheBOPS Zine in 2024, Semiah has quickly lived up to the hype — earning a DORA Award for Outstanding Composer, premiering her directorial debut at Finland’s Skábmagovat Film Festival, and touring Canada’s west coast. Hailing from Six Nations and now based in Toronto, she’s been on stage since childhood, blending electrified hyperpop with twang-tinged ballads. With an alpine vocal tone glittering with subtle Haudenosaunee embellishments, Semiah’s music explores love, fear, recklessness, and resilience.
