BC Music Scene – CHERSEA

Chelsea Laing more commonly known as Chersea when it comes to her music, is a one of a kind expressionist inspired electro-pop artist from Vancouver, B.C.

She released her sophomore album in September 2018 titled “In Limbo” after her debut EP “Grey Matter” got her started 4 years prior. The story behind the album  as she told the Regina Leader-Post was that the album took a long time to make “It was written over almost five years, it was in a period of my life when I had no direction.” Chersea is very open about the struggles she had with drugs alcohol and mental illness. Chersea is a prime example of someone that has become successful even after going through some awful times in life. her message is that, no matter how bad it all gets, there’s always hope for a better tomorrow.

In August 2019 Chersea got to tour across Canada for the month of August. She had plans on launching another tour in March and April of 2020, but with the current pandemic issues, this wasn’t possible for her. She wants to perform for people once its safe to do so. Especially with her style of performance. You won’t catch her sitting still for a lot of the show. Most of the time you’ll see her running in to the crowd, and getting people involved in the show which she believes creates more for the peformance, including everyone.

One of Chersea’s many incredible talents is – in my opinion – that she performs with a looper. But she says that when she tours she prefers to have the full experience of having all the instruments there with her.

Chersea has been working hard on some new music for her new album. There’s no date currently in place for the release, but she says it’s coming.
