Crissi Cochrane
Soul Music Singer Songwriter
Ontario, Canada
Biography:
Since going viral on Spotify with more than 13 million plays of her 2014 album Little Sway, Crissi has become a household name in Windsor, Ontario, beloved for her silky vocals, expert songwriting, and fierce musicianship. Her latest 2020 album Heirloom features a big band and a small orchestra, with production by Mike Hargreaves (The Walkervilles, Michou) and mix engineering by Juno-nominated engineer Brandon Unis (Karl Wolf, Nuela Charles). Hailed as the "voice of change" by the Windsor Star, the album is bold and unapologetically modern: from dissecting unfulfilling relationships in "Hungry Love", to demanding respect in "Like A Lady", to banishing toxic influences in "Get Out".
Born out of the 2020 pandemic is Crissi’s new single "Can We Go Back”, co-written with fellow artists of the Soul City Music Co-op. In contributing the lyrics and melody, Crissi touches on the hard feelings of this pandemic summer of 2020 - sympathizing with our collective exhaustion and yearning for simpler, earlier days. With trumpet from Austin Di Pietro, guitars by Dane Roberts, and production by Soul Brother Mike, “Can We Go Back” delivers strong dose of nostalgic feel-good vibes to soothe the soul in these strange times.
Crissi is a co-founder and senior artist in the Windsor, Ontario music label, the Soul City Music Co-op, an artist-owned music label pioneering a grass-roots model that fosters sustainable independent music careers, and is a 2009 graduate of the Nova Scotia Community College’s Music Business Program (Dartmouth Waterfront campus) where she received an award for Highest Academic Achievement. Crissi's music has been heard in ABC’s hit TV show Nashville and numerous independent film productions, in her popular 2018 TEDx talk "Love Songs For Hire" about writing 70+ custom love songs for listeners around the world, and at festivals including Canadian Music Week and the Junos.
Crissi is a proud recipient of grant funding from FACTOR, the Ontario Arts Council, the City of Windsor, the Windsor Endowment for the Arts, the Canadian Independent Recording Artists Association, and the Province of Nova Scotia.
