Kalsey Kulyk has enjoyed a lifelong passion for music, and audiences and critics also hear something
special. Mixing effortlessly rich and bright vocals, with lyrics you feel in the guts, makes her sound both
fresh and familiar, and perfectly honed for country music. Her 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 the CCMA’s Roots Album of the Year in 2020. Kulyk followed
that up as one of 8 artists selected for SiriusXM and the CCMA’s Top Of The Country program in 2020
through 2021.
Raised in Hudson Bay, SK, Kulyk got hooked on singing and playing the guitar at a young age. She took
part in hundreds of talent shows and competitions, winning her first songwriting competition at age 13.
Everything changed in high school when Kalsey fell ill with cancer, though her journey to recovery created
songwriting inspiration, and the entire experience solidified Kulyk’s belief in a career in music. With her
mind made up, Kulyk’s musical career sped up from there, with the help of Fleetwood Mac producer
Richard Dashut, a relocation to Music City, and winning both the Canadian Country Music Association’s
Discovery Artist program, and Anthem Entertainment’s (formerly olé) “On the Spot'' competition in one
day.
In 2024, Kulyk’s reached greater heights when her song, “Love Me Like An Outlaw,” went Top 20 at
Canadian Country Radio for three consecutive weeks (at the time, Kulyk was the only female artist in the
Top 20). Shortly after the song’s release, Kulyk put out her second studio album, Outlaw Poetry, and the
culmination of the success prompted a recording contract with Universal Music Canada. Kulyk’s
upcoming single “You Fight Dirty” is due out in February.
