Indigenous soul. That’s how Six Nations-born-and-bred Lacey Hill describes her emotion-filled original songs, which grow out of a lifelong love for music-making.

Part of the Oneida/Mohawk Wolf Clan, the singer-songwriter paid her dues performing cover songs and singing backup for local Six Nations bands. Now, she’s one of the few musicians from her community consistently dropping albums.

Previous releases include multiple volumes of a decade-long series of albums called 528. Entry three, The Moon (528 III), was released in 2022.

Between recording sessions, Hill makes a point of touring. She continues to expand her fanbase not only across Canada but internationally, with shows in Australia, Scotland, and the U.S.

Hill is an alumna of Banff Centre’s Indigenous Arts and Music programs.

Join Banff Centre throughout the month of June for National Indigenous History Month. Other free events include dance and jewelry workshops, film screenings, and a story sharing circle.

About Lacey Hill

This Oneida/Mohawk Wolf Clan, Six Nations-born-and-bred independent singer-songwriter describes her music as “Indigenous soul.” It’s grown from a passion for making music she’s had since she was a little girl.  

Throughout the years, Lacey paid her dues performing cover songs and singing backup for local Six Nations bands like The Healers. She’s established herself as one of only a few female musical talents to roll out album after original album from her community.  

There is no denying the amount of heart Lacey bleeds into each album; 528 Volume I in 2013, M (528 Volume II) released in 2017, and The Moon (528 Volume III) as her newest independent release in 2022. In between each album, Lacey makes a point of hitting the road with her music and continues to expand her fanbase not only locally but internationally with shows in Australia, Edinburgh, New York, and central and western Canada.
