Safiya Labelle is a singer songwriter, violinist, and producer from Salt Spring Island, BC. With acoustic guitar, rich vocals, and space for in-the-moment improvisation, she blends original songs with her own soulful version of folk-style covers. Her music offers a sonic journey that invites deep listening and heartfelt presence. A student of herbal medicine, she finds inspiration in the rhythms of the wild, the contours of our inner landscapes, and how music may be a language for the liminality of the unseen. Her debut album Shanti is her first self-produced collection of multi-instrumental songs, offering a window into her personal journey and musical evolution. Having toured across BC, Alberta, and the US with various projects, Safiya has performed at festivals including

Envision (Costa Rica), Bhakti Fest (Joshua Tree), Celebrate Life (Australia), and Kaslo Jazz Fest (BC).

Safiya thrives in creative, improvisational spaces that push the boundaries of her sound. Collaborating with yoga teachers, ecstatic dance DJs, and Contact Improvisation movement communities, her joy lies in the dynamic relationship between sound and movement, where the music becomes a living expression of the dance unfolding before her.
