Ria Mae is a platinum-selling pop artist and songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. With her signature blend of confessional lyrics and undeniable hooks, Mae has built a career that resonates deeply and lasts.
With platinum-certified singles “Bend” and “Too Close,” and her breakout hit “Clothes Off” (Top 5 in Canada, #1 on CBC Radio 2), Mae has become known for delivering hook-driven, confessional writing that quietly hits hard, reflected by over 90 million global streams. A three-time JUNO nominee and recipient of a SOCAN #1 Award, SOCAN Songwriter of the Year (NSMAs), and several ECMA nominations, her songs have also been featured in The L Word, CBC’s Olympic coverage, and Hello Goodbye.
A recent social media resurgence has brought her songs back into the spotlight, reconnecting longtime listeners and drawing in new ones - proof that her voice still resonates, and her songs still meet people right where they are. Following the intimate Tiny Strands EP, Mae now steps into a new era with TWO, her long-awaited sophomore album, out November 7. A full-band tour will bring the record to life alongside her most beloved singles, not as a reinvention, but as a reaffirmation.
