About

Maggie Andrew has developed into a full-fledged phenom over the past couple years, crafting sophisticated alternative pop songs that capture the peaks and valleys of life’s triumphs and tragedies without sacrificing banger-certified choruses or her winking sense of humour. Over the past few years, the Nova Scotian songwriter and producer has collaborated with Florida musician blackbear on “Sleep 4Ever” (2021), won CBC Music’s Searchlight competition, and plumbed her own depths for the multi-award winning DAY JOB (2024), embracing her shadows and swagger. For her latest album, HOW TO SING FOR MONEY (2025), she emerges from the darkness and swings for the rafters, balancing arena-sized pop grandeur with lush, understated moments, and lyrical tenderness with sarcastic wordplay. She’s still singing about big feelings—devastating breakups, losing her faith, the exhaustion of trying to make a living as a 21st-century artist—but there’s a richness to her perspective that can only come from living life fully. You’ll definitely laugh; there’s a good chance you’ll cry. And the songs are only elevated by catching Andrew in concert—her electrifying live show adds another unforgettable dimension to the many moods of her music.
