Now with an arsenal of songs and a survivor’s determination, Kalsey Kulyk is sharing her passions with the world, she says “What is life unless you’re doing what you love every single day?” Her 2019 debut self-titled album, which delivered impeccable songwriting, classic upbeat country, and heartfelt ballads; premiered at #2 in Canada on iTunes/Apple Music and was nominated for Roots Album of the Year at the 2020 CCMA’s, with over 3 million streams to date. Kalsey helped kickstart her career in 2017 by winning both the CCMA Discovery Award and Anthem Entertainment’s (formerly ole) On The Spot contest on the same day, which came with a label development deal that resulted in her 2019 release. Living in Nashville for a couple years, Kalsey earned a ranking as prolific songwriter, working with notable writers such as Liz Rose and Phil Barton, and building a large catalogue of songs and credits. Signed to Sakamoto Agency in 2019, Kalsey has played shows across Canada, including festivals such as Country at the Creek (SK), Hagersville Rocks (ON), Crook Rapids Country Fest (ON), Hallywood Jamboree (AB), and Frontier Days (SK) as well as many fairs, rodeos, and clubs.
