“She is a sensation!” — Ron MacLean, HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA

After patrons at a local country bar told her she needed to "go to the big city", singer-songwriter Kelsi Mayne moved from her hometown of Windsor, ON to Toronto to see if she could "make it." With frequented trips to Nashville in between, the once nationally ranked sprint-hurdler is now one of the fastest rising independent artists in Canada— performing main stages nationwide such as Boots and Hearts and Big Valley Jamboree, Rogers Hometown Hockey on live national television, and anthems for the Blue Jays. Between managing the band, writing the music, costume designing, applying for grants, and producing & editing her own music videos, Kelsi is the ultimate “do-it-yourself-er”.
In recent years, the 3xCMAOntario nominee, FACTOR Canada recipient, and SiriusXM "Top of the Country" finalist, found herself trading her boots for scrubs— putting her nursing degree back to work, heading company Pulsar UV Inc. as Chief Medical Director, and led entire multi-million dollar productions for Apple TV and CBS throughout the pandemic without a single shut down. Now with new music, videos, and collaborations on the horizon, the #MayneTrain is back on the tracks and moving full steam ahead as Soundcheck Entertainment’s Hendrik Pape predicted: “It won’t be long until Kelsi Mayne becomes a household name across Canada.”
