Northern Dial Artist Profile

VIBI

Canada

Canadian singer-songwriter VIBI developed a pop sound around a raspy, powerful vocal tone and diaristic songwriting, later relocating to Los Angeles while maintaining her Canadian identity. Her work combines singer-songwriter intimacy with polished Scandinavian-influenced pop production, allowing her to move between stripped emotional writing and larger, hook-driven arrangements.

Mentorship connected to the Stargate production world helped sharpen that pop vocabulary, while the Rain In California project earned placement on Spotify and Amazon Music editorial playlists. VIBI also opened for Bryan Adams before a crowd of roughly 60,000 and won the pop category grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, giving her independent career notable performance and songwriting milestones beyond streaming alone.

Her subsequent catalogue has expanded quickly through releases including Mattress, we had fun, didn’t we?, "homesafe," "killshot" and the 2026 EP angeldies. VIBI’s strongest through-line is emotional specificity: even as the production grows more polished, the songs remain centred on vulnerable, conversational writing rather than anonymous pop architecture.
