Vicki Lovelee is a Chinese Canadian alt-pop singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto. She uses orchestral instrumentation and fuses them with dramatic, pop elements; ultimately creating a dark and theatrical sound. Her music and style embodies a combination of fierce yet vulnerable; having eccentric elements like Lady Gaga and lush instrumentations like Lana Del Rey. As well as drawing influences from pop artists like Halsey, Lorde and MARINA.

Lyrically, Lovelee is unafraid to dive deep into topics like religion, death, mental health and self growth. “I’m a huge advocate for mental health awareness and believe in the acceptance of all cultures and identities” says Lovelee. “I take painful experiences and turn them into music and empowerment.” Lovelee frequently uses skulls, pink paint and eccentric black clothing to help tell her story. “I’m ultimately a storyteller — through music, art and fashion” says Lovelee.

Lovelee has performed at various events in Ontario, Canada such as Toronto Chinatown Festival (2022) and Night It Up! (Markham, Ontario, 2022). She has also accumulated 40K+ streams on music platforms. Vicki Lovelee continues to pull listeners close with her eccentric performance style and theatrical edge.

From The Artist : This song is about feeling guilty for walking away from someone. I’m a very empathetic person, which has its pros and cons. There were many times in my life when I had to walk away from someone or stand up for myself because they were toxic. But I felt really guilty after doing that. They were in the wrong yet I was the one who felt really guilty. I still cared for that person so I didn’t want them to feel bad. This could apply to any relationship, friendship, etc. Writing this song gave me the strength and reminder that even though I feel this way, I still need to do what’s best for myself.
