KWIAT

About

KWIAT (pronounced kwai·uht) is a Winnipeg-based Métis Polish avant-pop artist whose music blooms at the intersection of fiery piano anthems and poetic mystique. Drawing from the raw intensity of Fiona Apple, the theatricality of Tori Amos, and the hook-driven punch of modern indie pop.  The Polish word for "flower," her name reflects the duality of her music, both delicate and bold.Her debut single, Follow The Call (co-produced with Hawksley Workman), cracked the Top 10 on SiriusXM’s The Indigiverse and surpassed 40K cumulative streams, heralding a self-titled EP due in 2025. A classically trained pianist with a voice that swings from delicate to defiant, KWIAT has enraptured stages at TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, Festival du Voyageur, Pride Winnipeg, and alongside artists like Jim Cuddy & Sam Polley. Her rising acclaim has earned spots on Billboard Canada’s Women in Music Spotlight in 2024 and the 2023 Women in Music Canada Honour Roll, proof of an artist rooted in craft, culture, and unapologetic vision.
