More about Maclayne.

Maclayne is a Calgary and Toronto-based indie pop singer-songwriter who crafts memorable and melodic musical stories that are authentically quirky, deeply relatable, and distinctly her own. Often likened to artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Regina Spektor, she pairs an original musical voice with a clear perspective on life to create songs that resonate with audiences of all ages. A gifted storyteller, Maclayne’s live show is a journey, each song a chapter. Through an endearing and playful performance that is as sincerely truthful as it is unexpectedly theatrical and funny, Maclayne has the ability to entertain and captivate any room she finds herself in.

Her debut album, Off the Deep End (November 2024), grew out of a soul-searching trip to Nicaragua during the pandemic, capturing a period of transformation through nine songs about letting go, finding authenticity, and learning to trust yourself. The album earned national airplay and was nominated for two YYC Music Awards, with additional airplay on CBC, CKUA, and campus radio. It was also named one of Calgary’s best albums of 2024 by CBC Calgary and The Calgary Herald, which called it “a personal and riveting pop album about transformation.” Since its release, Maclayne has toured independently across Western Canada, performing on festival stages and in living rooms alike.

Maclayne is currently entering a new career chapter with her sophomore album, Concentric Circles, slated for release in September 2027 and produced by JUNO and Latin Grammy winner James Bryan (The Philosopher Kings, Nelly Furtado). The concept record expands Maclayne’s sound and storytelling into a fully realized world, marking a significant step forward for this songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. “Concentric Circles began as a spiritual contemplation of the nature of life itself, and ended as a series of personal confessions about love, the human condition, and my familiar tendency to repeat my mistakes and revelations over and over again”, says Maclayne.
