訪問嘉賓：Vicki Lovelee

Vicki Lovelee is a Chinese-Canadian alt-pop sensation based in Markham, Ontario. She merges the luminosity of pop with brooding shadows of dark drama and orchestral instrumentations. Her anticipated album just dropped in Fall 2024.

Lovelee is fierce yet vulnerable with an eccentric persona; draped in lush lyricisms that echo the influences of icons such as Lady Gaga, Halsey, Melanie Martinez, Mitski and the legendary Freddie Mercury. Inspired by life’s kaleidoscope, Lovelee writes about the labyrinth of struggles, unraveling tales of self-growth, acceptance, mental health, religion, and heartbreak. “I’m a huge advocate for mental health awareness and believe in the acceptance of all cultures and identities,” she says. Her music helps turn painful experiences into empowering anthems, offering solace to those who find refuge in her art. From an early age, Lovelee has always been obsessed with skulls and the colours black and pink. “”I’m ultimately a storyteller — through music, art, fashion and movement“ she says.

A graduate of York University’s Music Program, Lovelee holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a testament to her dedication to the craft. Having completed Canada’s Music Incubator’s Artist Entrepreneur Program in 2021, she learned the alchemy of turning her passion into a music career. As an independent artist, she has garnered over 85K streams on music platforms and has graced the stages of events like Breaking Sound Canada, Taste of Asia, and Durham Pride. She has been featured on media outlets like Aesthetic Magazine (Toronto, 2023), Canadian Beats (2023) and Lefuturewave (Netherlands, 2022). As well as playlist features such as CBC Radio, and Exclaim! In addition, she has received notable grants from FACTOR and Ontario Arts Council, which proves that Lovelee is an artistic prowess.

As the curtains rise on her journey, Vicki Lovelee pulls listeners close with her eccentric performance style and theatrical edge. With every note and lyric, Lovelee invites you into her universe, where music is a portal to self-discovery.

來自加拿大安大略省萬錦市的華裔另類流行音樂人，她將流行音樂的光輝與暗黑戲劇和管弦樂元素相結合，新專輯將於2024年秋季發布。

畢業於約克大學音樂系，擁有美術學士學位；2021年，她完成加拿大音樂孵化器的藝術家創業項目，將熱情轉化為音樂事業。作為獨立音樂人，禕祺愛李被《Aesthetic Magazine》（2023）、《Canadian Beats》（2023）和荷蘭的《Lefuturewave》（2022）等媒體報導，其作品被加拿大廣播公司音樂廣播( CBC Music) 和《Exclaim!》等平台收錄。此外，她還獲得 FACTOR 和安大略省藝術委員會的贊助，證明她的音樂創作實力。

禕祺愛李的音樂風格強烈且脆弱，帶有古怪的個人特質；歌詞華麗深刻，受到 Lady Gaga、Halsey和傳奇人物 Freddie Mercury 等偶像的影響。她的創作靈感來自人生中的種種挑戰，歌曲講述自我成長、自我接納、心理健康、宗教和心碎的故事。她的音樂將痛苦的經歷轉化為賦予力量的頌歌，為那些在她的創作中找到慰藉的人提供支持。從小禕祺愛李就對骷髏和黑色、粉紅色這兩種顏色充滿熱情。「我最終是一名說故事的人——透過音樂、藝術、時尚和社會運動來表達自己。」
