About Misty Raine

Misty Raine hails from the community of Nadleh Whut’en, a place known for its rich musical culture. Her roots are deeply embedded in this community, where singing and drumming are not just traditions but a way of life. Misty's work draws inspiration from her own life experiences as an Indigenous person navigating a world fraught with challenges. Her music serves as a powerful medium to document these experiences, addressing themes such as trauma, loss, addiction, cultural identity, and spirituality. Her creative process begins with an emotional soundscape in her mind, often somber or melancholic. She translates these emotions into chords on her guitar or piano. The lyrics flow naturally, often portraying her life's stories without embellishments. Each song is like a puzzle, with each piece placed to convey the intended mood and message.
