Persian-Portuguese first-generation Canadian singer-songwriter, Sohayla Smith, recently released her first full length album, I’ll Be the Meteor.
Sohayla supported Jim Cuddy Trio Dec 2020, and again in June 2021, in Mulmur, Music In The Hills. Previous years, Sohayla has shared a stage with Ken Yates, and Irish Mythen.
Sohayla released two Latin indie-pop hits in 2020, Quizás and Ojalá – both were widely received by over 11 thousand Spanish speaking fans around the world. The songs feature a tiny taste of her love of flamenco, a passion she fosters diligently.

Sohayla is a 4x Clouzine IMA winner, including Best Singer-Songwriter 2021, Country Recording in 2018, and was nominated for Best Country in the 2018 TIMA’s. Sohayla is also a Latin pop artist, champion Celtic harpist, and flamenco guitarist.
