Ada Lea is the musical project of Montreal’s Alexandra Levy. She has two albums released by Saddle Creek and Next Door Records (CA), including what we say in private and one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden, which earned her a spot on the Polaris Prize Long List in 2022. Beyond music, she paints, draws, reads, takes forest walks, cares for plants, and organizes a seasonal songwriting method. The third Ada Lea album—rumored to be her best yet—is set for release in 2025.
