Heather Ragnars is an Icelandic singer-songwriter who spent most of her life in Montreal, Quebec. Influenced by Folk and RnB from the 50s, 60s and modern age, the piano playing songstress writes music which is simultaneously modern and vintage. She first garnered attention with solo performances much like this one- original songs sung and played on the piano. Her songs are witty and heartfelt, evoking nostalgia, anger and closure. She describes her songs as difficult conversations that may never take place in real life. They delve deep into love, drugs, disappointment and infidelity with unassuming candour.
After being voted into the Top Ten and then the Top Five Singer-songwriters in Montreal by the readers of local magazine Cult MTL, Heather independently released her first solo EP, Bench Warmer. With a vintage voice reminiscent of Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Rey, she is perhaps best known for her performances at Montreal cabaret club “The Wiggle Room” where she performs her songs with a full band, featuring Burlesque Artists.
In 2025, she will be releasing new material, some of which was written and recorded with cowriters in Northern Ireland. The first single “Borrowed Love”- an ode to a situationship- drops in early 2025.
