Heather Janssen

Heather Janssen is a Canadian singer-songwriter crafting intimate, confessional pop rooted in real-life experience and unfiltered emotion. Known for her honest lyricism and soft, expressive vocals, her music sits alongside artists like Gracie Abrams, Holly Humberstone, and Lizzy McAlpine - blending diary-like storytelling with warm, understated production. Born and raised in Ontario, Janssen first built an audience on YouTube before releasing her debut EP Fear of Falling in 2019. She has since earned over 20 million streams, with standout releases like “Dancing When I Die” surpassing 6 million streams and gaining strong editorial playlist support. Her collaborations with artists including Ryan Shepherd and Jack Trades have further expanded her reach. She has performed across NA, with appearances at Digital Dreams Festival, The Great Hall, TIFF, and Nashville songwriting circles, and has been featured on SiriusXM and iHeartRadio. Her songwriting has also led to sync placements on Love Island US, Love Island UK, and Love Island All Stars, alongside collaborations with EMBRZ and Forester. After stepping back to navigate burnout and refine her creative direction, Janssen now returns with a deeply personal new chapter. With a clear artistic vision and a renewed sense of purpose, her upcoming releases mark not just a continuation, but a reintroduction, rooted in honesty, connection, and the kind of storytelling that turns private moments into something universally felt.
