let's bloom

Steeped in vintage sensibilities and powerful emotion, paired with her dreamy, delicate vocals, East Coast Music Award and Nova Scotia Music Award nominee Avery Dakin fuses old and new in her sultry, sun-kissed Pop/R&B music. 

Hailing from Nova Scotia, Canada, Avery's soft-hearted, soulful accounts of life’s most intimate moments are both youthfully charming and reflective of an old, contemplative soul. Cushioned within lush, shimmering harmonies and bathing in soft sweetness, Avery’s music implores you to sway along to the sweet, earnest sounds of a woman in bloom.

A single review in UK publication Click Roll Boom calls Avery’s vocals “enchanting with an intoxicating purity and innocence”. 

In a review for a brand new live single and video of Avery's tender, reflective song "Comin' Up", Canadian Beats says: “'Comin’ Up (Live)' is a captivating exploration of the human experience, offering a poignant reflection on the universal themes of loneliness, forgiveness, and self-acceptance."

This musical sensitivity and care has earned Avery a nomination for "R&B/Soul Recording of the Year" from the 2024 East Coast Music Awards, and nominations for "SOCAN Songwriter of the Year' and "R&B/Soul Recording of the Year" at the 2024 Music Nova Scotia Awards for her debut album "Bloom".

"Bloom", a soothing, intimate meditation on growth and coming of age, is available on all streaming platforms now! Touching on themes of mental health and the search for fulfillment in life and relationships, "Bloom" uplifts the spirit with Avery's sweet vocals, dreamy harmonic variation, and a sun-kissed, tender warmth in its tone and delivery. 

Avery has also been releasing a series of music video projects within the latter part of 2023, into 2024. On New Year's Eve she shared her highly anticipated Bloom Visual Album - a 5-song continuous music video telling the story of the process of self-actualization and reflection before a new year.

In November, Avery and her band released a cover of Aretha Franklin's "Day Dreaming", recorded live off the floor to tape at Fang Recording in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It captures the song’s dreamy warmth, and expresses jubilant appreciation and reverence for this beautiful and timeless song.

When Avery isn't writing and performing her music, you can find her working as a private music teacher, composer, and arranger in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
