Ila Barker

With soaring vocals and lyrics that wash over the heart and mind like waves, Anishinaabe indie folk soul artist Ila Barker takes listeners on an introspective journey creating space for love, loss, and letting go. With the grit and raw emotion of Brandi Carlile, the poetic storytelling of Jewel, and the ethereal charm of Gabrielle Aplin, Ila braids an eclectic sound that feels familiar and yet like nothing you’ve heard before. In 2022, Ila released her much anticipated LP titled Fool Under Water, topping campus radio charts across Canada and the US. This Honour Song to her metamorphosis is just the beginning.
