Seayenna Fontaine Lee is a multidisciplinary Ojibwe artist and singer-songwriter from the Sagkeeng community in Manitoba. Born in Mooniyang/Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) and raised on Tsimshian (Ts’msyen) territory (Terrace, BC), she currently lives in Montreal. With an Indigenous heritage as well as Norwegian, Welsh, and French ancestry, she draws on her diverse roots to fuel a deeply personal artistic practice. Seayenna has been singing and composing for as long as she can remember. Inspired by her mother’s career as a writer and her father’s as a musician, she has developed an approach in which storytelling and narrative take center stage. 

Recent graduate from the Bachelor’s program in creative writing at Concordia University, she naturally integrates writing into her music, which is rooted in a folk tradition influenced by artists such as Karen Dalton, Joan Baez, Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan, Laura Marling, and Bedouine. After contributing to the album Nogom Nikamowin, produced in collaboration with Minwashin, Seayenna took part in the Musique Nomade stopover in October 2025, where she recorded two songs from her repertoire: Anti Ballad, a country-pop song, and Ojibwe in the City, a country-folk song.
