Poetry, set to music

The story behind the songs.

Tyra Whitson writes with the honesty of someone willing to be seen.

Based in Edmonton, Alberta, she pairs expressive folk melodies with lyrics shaped by love, uncertainty, and change. Her writing has the closeness of poetry: specific in its details, open in what it offers the listener.

A song can make a difficult feeling easier to name. Tyra's music makes space for that recognition, and for the possibility of finding a way forward by feeling it fully.

Do it scared.

There is courage in letting yourself be seen. Tyra's own words are a reminder to pursue what matters, share the work, and take the next step before the fear has gone.
