Bella Frances is a pop-folk singer-songwriter from Orillia, ON who combines her poetically diaristic lyrical skills with her emotive vocals and musical theatre background for powerfully passionate songs from the perspective of a sensitive storyteller.
The self-described pop-poet released her debut single, ‘Magic’ in July 2023 and since then has released five more lyric-driven songs and two self-directed music videos. Bella worked on these songs with Juno-winning and nominated producers Rob Szabo and Joel Schwartz. Her July 2024 debut EP She’ll Cross Oceans is another collaboration with Szabo, funded by the Ontario Arts Council.
Some of Bella’s highlight performances include Springtide Music Festival (Billianne, Aysanabee), Mariposa Folk Festival, Roots North, Folk Music Ontario, Sofar Toronto, and City TV’s CMCTV Talent series (airing September 2024).
Bella makes it her mission to authentically represent an uncaged female voice through her music and career, empowering other women/femmes by living true to the heart on her sleeve.
