Celeigh Cardinal
Celeigh Cardinal’s powerful voice and evocative storytelling have earned her widespread acclaim. Her third studio album, Boundless Possibilities (2024), marks a defining chapter in her career—an odyssey through grief, independence, and spiritual awakening.
Anchored by the luminous “Light of the Moon,” which won 2024 Songwriter of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, the album received two JUNO nominations in 2025 (Adult Contemporary Album and Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year) and won Indigenous Songwriter of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Cardinal also performed during the In Memoriam tribute at the 2025 JUNO Gala, further solidifying her status as one of Canada’s most compelling performers.
Her debut album earned Indigenous Artist of the Year at the 2018 Western Canadian Music Awards, and her sophomore release won a JUNO in 2020. Her music has been featured in film and TV, and she has toured internationally, including Expo 2020 Dubai, Reeperbahn, UK Americana, and Ireland’s Your Roots Are Showing. She is part of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall’s 2025 Artist in Residence program.
Cardinal’s work transcends genre and expectation, offering a mirror for personal reflection and a map for resilience. With each song, she welcomes listeners into a sonic space of tenderness,
truth, and possibility.
