Ada Lea is the musical project of Montreal-based artist and musician Alexandra Levy. Her work is a deeply personal and emotionally rich blend of indie rock, folk, and art-pop, characterizing an intimate exploration of her experiences and storytelling. With a background that includes visual art and a creative, free-spirited approach to music, Levy’s songwriting is both poetic and forthright, marked by a rawness that navigates through the complexities of life and relationships.

Her breakthrough came with the 2019 album "what we say in private," a release that showcased a stark vulnerability and garnered critical acclaim for its inventive production and poignant lyricism. Ada Lea's narrative approach to music continued to evolve with the 2021 album, "one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden," which played like a sonic map of Montreal and the array of emotions tied to place and memory. With subsequent singles like "hometown / heard you" and "woman, here," Ada Lea has solidified her place in the indie music scene as an artist unafraid to delve into the depths of personal experience, while creatively playing with linguistic and musical boundaries, as evidenced by her French version release of "the party."
