VICKI LOVELEE
VICKI LOVELEE (禕祺愛李) is a Chinese Canadian alt-pop sensation based in Toronto, Ontario. With a foundation in classical piano and a degree in jazz vocals, she masterfully blends her deep musical knowledge with a passion for pop — to create a unique genre she calls “dark pop phantom of the opera.” She creates a dramatic fusion of dark pop and orchestral instrumentations, offering a cinematic experience to listeners.
Lovelee embodies an eccentric yet vulnerable persona, drawing inspiration from icons like Lady Gaga, Halsey, Mitski and Freddie Mercury. Her music addresses themes of self-growth, acceptance, power struggle, mental health, and heartbreak. Her most recent album “Phase 2: Power Struggle” is about the beauty and chaos that comes with reclaiming your power.
Born in Canada, Lovelee found herself drifting away from her Chinese heritage but is now inspired to reconnect with her roots. She hopes to encourage listeners to explore and embrace their own cultures as well. She believes in the acceptance of all cultures and identities, and advocates for mental health awareness. Her music and art transforms pain into powerful anthems; helping listeners find courage and empowerment at the end of the song. With an early fascination with skulls and the contrasting colours of black and pink, she weaves these striking visuals into her storytelling, seamlessly expressed through music, art, fashion, and movement.
As an independent artist, Lovelee achieved over 100K streams on music platforms and performed at prominent events around Canada such as Breaking Sound Canada (Toronto), Jade Music Festival (Vancouver), Taste of Asia (Markham) and York Pride (Newmarket). Her music has been featured on various media outlets worldwide such as CBC Radio and Exclaim! Lovelee has received notable grants from FACTOR and Ontario Arts Council, which proves she’s a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Lovelee is a graduate of York University’s Music Program, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She further honed her skills through Canada’s Music Incubator’s Artist Entrepreneur Program, where she learned how to transform her passion into a thriving music career.
As the curtains rise on her journey, VICKI LOVELEE pulls listeners close with her eccentric performance style and theatrical edge. With every note and lyric, Lovelee invites you into her universe, where music is a portal to self-discovery.
VICKI LOVELEE（禕祺愛李）是活躍於安大略省多倫多的華裔加拿大另類流行音樂新星。她受過古典鋼琴訓練，並取得爵士聲樂學位，將深厚的音樂底子與對流行樂的熱情巧妙融合，打造出她自稱的獨特類型——「dark pop phantom of the opera」（黑暗流行 × 《歌劇魅影》）。她把黑暗流行與管絃樂編制戲劇化結合，為聽者帶來宛如電影般的沉浸式體驗。
Lovelee 的舞台形象兼具怪誕與脆弱，靈感來源包括 Lady Gaga、Halsey、Mitski 與 Freddie Mercury。她的音樂關注自我成長、接納、權力角力、心理健康與心碎等主題。她最新的專輯《Phase 2: Power Struggle》描繪的是在重新奪回主導權的過程中，所湧現的美與混沌。
出生於加拿大的 Lovelee，曾一度與自身的華人文化傳承漸行漸遠，但如今受到激發、決心與根連結。她也希望鼓勵聽眾探索並擁抱各自的文化。她相信所有文化與身分都應被接納，並致力於推廣心理健康意識。她的音樂與藝術把痛苦轉化為有力量的頌歌，讓聽者在歌曲結尾找到勇氣與賦能。自小對骷髏意象、以及黑與粉的強烈對比著迷的她，將這些鮮明視覺融入敘事，並以音樂、藝術、時尚與肢體動作無縫呈現。
作為獨立音樂人，Lovelee 的串流播放次數突破 10 萬，並受邀於加拿大各大活動演出，如 Breaking Sound Canada（多倫多）、Jade Music Festival（溫哥華）、Taste of Asia（萬錦）與 York Pride（紐馬克特）。她的作品曾登上包括 CBC Radio 與 Exclaim! 在內的多家國際媒體。她亦獲得 FACTOR 與安大略藝術委員會（Ontario Arts Council）等機構的補助，足見其在音樂產業中不容小覷。Lovelee 畢業於約克大學（York University）音樂系，取得藝術學士學位，並透過 Canada’s Music Incubator 的 Artist Entrepreneur Program 進一步磨練專業，學會將熱情化為可持續的音樂生涯。
當她的人生旅程緩緩揭幕，VICKI LOVELEE 以古怪迷人的表演風格與劇場張力將聽者拉近。隨著每一個音符與歌詞，她邀請你步入她的宇宙——在那裡，音樂是通往自我發現的入口。
