About
2025 Juno Award Nominee, Kym Gouchie is a celebrated Indigenous singer-songwriter and cultural ambassador with ancestral roots in the Lheidli T’enneh, Cree, and Secwépemc Nations.
Known for her powerful voices and heartfelt storytelling, Gouchie’s music and community work fosters understanding and reconciliation. Blending folk, roots, and Indigenous influences, she captures audiences of all ages with songs that make us cry, laugh and heal. Her performance highlights include playing with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra in 2023 and singing at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2020 BC Summer Games and composing and performing a song for the 2024 Para Biathlon World Championships.
She performs at music festivals throughout BC and has dedicated the past decade to engaging children and youth through school performances. Gouchie’s commitment to Indigenizing spaces and “slow touring” allows her to form deep connections with each community, building lasting relationships with both people and the land. She continues to use her platform to amplify Indigenous voices, leaving a lasting impact in the music industry and beyond!
