Bio
Atlin Morgan grew up in the Vancouver area and trained as a classical singer but decided to forego a classical singing career in favour of becoming a singer-songwriter when she realised how much she loved writing and performing her own music. She has always loved the jazz classics, such as those sung by Ella Fitzgerald, and has combined her vocal skills singing jazz with her classical singing background to sing with a clean, confident, versatile and emotionally expressive sound. Her eclectic music influences include bands and musicians like Radiohead and Björk, along with classical music and music from the 1930s and 1950s. This wide range of influence has given her music a unique sound.
On Oct. 11, 2024, Atlin released 'Lady Grey', her powerful, 13-song debut album- an evocative song collection full of gorgeous melodies, rich and diverse arrangements and incredible vocals.
Largely written during the pandemic and just following it, ‘Lady Grey’ came out of a period of intense self-exploration and discovery, both personally and musically. The title of the album comes from the Bond-theme-like opening track, Lady Grey, which explores Atlin’s struggle with her old-fashioned alter-ego.
She recently played her first full album show at Trees Coffee, 450 Granville St. on Dec. 13th with nearly all the players from her album. Local songwriter and fellow band member, Daniel Sinclair, opened the show. The show was a big success and ended with a standing ovation.
As well as playing shows in the Vancouver area and taking an active role in the vibrant Vancouver open mic community, Atlin is also now part of a folk trio called ‘Ask The Wind’ and she's having the time of her life working with her trio members, Maya Eliza and Daniel Sinclair, putting together shows and creating inspiring music with them.
