ABOUT THE HOST

Erika Fowler is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter from Winnipeg. She has been performing in public since she was 11 years old, and began writing her own songs and composing in 2013. Her style is primarily indie/folk, but she has experience performing in a wide variety of genres including classical, jazz, choral music, French language, and musical theatre. In February 2016 she received the grand prize at La Chicane Electrique, organized by Le 100 Nons. She has performed at Winnipeg Folk Festival three times through the Young Performers Program. Her first single 'Oublié' was released on December 16, 2016. Her single ‘Stay’ was selected in the 2017 CBC Searchlight competition in the top 25 of over 2000 entries across Canada. Monika Platek of the CBC described Erika as one of the “10 young musicians you need to hear,” warning that, “Fowler sings with such ease and grace.... If you find yourself forgetting she’s just sixteen as you listen to this, we’re guilty of the same thing.” Craig Mannix of Sony Entertainment Canada said, "Great voice, she might be the best guitar player in the bunch. At 16 she can only get better."
