The Vancouver music scene is often at its best when its artists lean on one another to build something new. This May 22, we’re getting a perfect example of that synergy with the release of the newest single from Julia Skye, produced by fellow local standout Lila Gray.

  • Julia Skye: Known for her “indie dream pop” atmosphere, Julia’s music is a masterclass in vulnerability. An alumna of VCC’s Singer-Songwriter program, she has built a reputation for blending jazz-influenced harmonies with intimate, relatable lyricism. Her previous work, including the EP Think Myself To Sleep, showcased a talent for turning quiet moments into lush, cinematic experiences.
  • Lila Gray: Lila is more than just a producer; she’s an architect of soundscapes. A recipient of the 2025 Olivia Quan Award for Audio Excellence, her work is defined by a “gritty-meets-intimate” aesthetic. As an artist herself, she understands how to preserve a songwriter’s core while elevating the production to professional, anthemic heights.

This upcoming release isn’t just a new song; it’s a testament to the strength of the Vancouver creative community.
