For nearly 30 years, Vancouver Island born veteran bassist, Kaitie Sly, has worked as a session, touring and performing musician. She began her musical journey at the age of eight and soon after was performing in bars and clubs across British Columbia. A fixture of the BC music scene for over three decades, she began touring internationally in high school, playing legendary venues such as the Cavern Club in Liverpool, UK, and performing with icons such as Motown superstar, Martha Reeves. Being able to work the gig and touring circuit at such a young age meant that Kaitie's career path in music was solidified for her well before finishing school.  Her melodic bass lines serve as the emotional anchor of her cinematic and eclectic music, which combines elements of jazz, rock, world music, and sound design that will take you on a sonic journey to other worlds. Formally trained in music from some of North America's preeminent institutions, her long list of awards and accolades demonstrates her artistic prowess and technical ability as a bassist, vocalist, sound designer, producer and songwriter. She was artist-in-residence at Lobe Studio in 2021, and at MONOM in Berlin in the spring of 2023, where she developed two 4DSOUND spatial sound compositions. Kaitie built her profile as a sought-after session bassist before establishing herself as a solo artist. Her next solo album, Forgotten Memoirs, will be released in Spring 2025. Now as head of bass for Musora's widely anticipated PlayBass platform, she has been inspiring a new generation of women and girls to take up the bass.
