Michaela Slinger is a Vancouver-based "legendary songbird-in-the-making" (Dan Mangan). Her songwriting and stop-you-dead vocals illuminate the universality of our lives by diving deep into quiet moments of love, loss, longing, and uncertainty.
Her forthcoming album "Green and Trying" (September 25th 2026) marks a turning point in her career after parting ways with her previous record label and creating big wins independently. Initial singles 'Fleeting' and 'Something's Gotta Give' landed her Top 5 spots on Spotify's "Folk and Friends" and her first Triple J radio play in Australia on "Edge of Country" and "Country Club" programming. Recorded at Protection Island Studios with David Vertesi (Haley Blais, Hey Ocean!) and Jonathan Anderson (Ocie Elliott, Field Guide), this music captures an artist learning to sit with the unanswered questions that accompany the ending of a decade and places her sonically alongside greats like Kacey Musgraves, Maggie Rogers, and Sheryl Crow. Michaela has shared stages across North America with artists like Dermot Kennedy, Donovan Woods, Bre Kennedy, Hayden Everett, Virginia to Vegas, and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald.
Michaela's sophomore LP 'This Can't Last Forever' (604 Records) was written between her muse cities of Nashville, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Toronto and featured collaborators like Khalid Yassein (Wild Rivers) and Ryan Stewart
