Ria Mae is a platinum-selling pop artist and songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia. With her  signature blend of confessional lyrics and undeniable hooks, Mae has built a career that  resonates deeply and lasts. With platinum-certified singles “Bend” and “Too Close,” and  her breakout hit “Clothes Off” (Top 5 in Canada, #1 on CBC Radio 2), Mae has become  known for delivering hook-driven, confessional writing that quietly hits hard, reflected by  over 90 million global streams. 

A three-time JUNO nominee and recipient of a SOCAN #1 Award, SOCAN Songwriter of the  Year (NSMAs), and several ECMA nominations, her songs have also been featured in The L  Word, CBC’s Olympic coverage, and Hello Goodbye. 

A recent social media resurgence has brought her songs back into the spotlight,  reconnecting longtime listeners and drawing in new ones - proof that her voice still  resonates, and her songs still meet people right where they are. 

Mae’s upcoming EP, Tiny Strands (May 2025), marks a return to deeply personal  songwriting. Solitary, raw, and free from expectation. It mirrors the honesty of her earliest,  pre-label work, with both eras rooted in total authenticity. 

This fall, she’ll bring that full-circle moment to life on the Tiny Strands and Flashbacks  Tour (November 2025), blending new material with the radio hits that first defined her,  offering a rare glimpse at an artist reconnecting with herself, then and now.
