Bio:

Canadian-American songwriter Mery Steel wants to melt your ice-cold heart. Fortunately for them, you won't be able to help it: that's just the temperature they operate at. Don't be surprised if you burst into tears while dancing and scream-singing. It’s by design.

Emotional upheaval is a material force in Steel’s songwriting: undulating, color-changing, and ultimately wild, bracing themes of love, hate, jobs, chronic pain, and perseverance. Their guitar-driven sound testifies to varied influences, with songs ranging from sinuous alt-country tearjerkers to breezy pop bops to groovy blues rock rippers. You might hear Jennifer Warnes or Loretta Lynn in the vocals, but Mery will growl on the mic as readily as they’ll croon.

Every generation deserves beloved songwriters to tell stories about the state of ecstasy and heartache with timeless mastery. Songs that endure for generations. Mery Steel is on their way to becoming just that—an enduring, cross-generational songwriter and beloved storyteller.

Steel released her debut album in January 2024. With a moody sophomore release slated for 2025, the singer is well-rigged: with their guitar, a top-tier band, and an ineffable inner flame to bring audiences back to life.
