Gillian Moranz is an Alberta-born singer-songwriter, poet, musician, visual artist, and arts presenter currently based in Vancouver, BC. Heavily influenced by master storytellers and poetic outlaws alike, words have always been her greatest love. Inspired by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, and Lucinda Williams, Moranz is a wordsmith hell-bent on forging her own unique style with a tip-of-the-hat reverence. Her smokey vocals weave through the cracks of poetic fragments where hard-earned lyrics uncover the profound hidden in plain sight. 

Gillian’s debut single, “Dogwood Flowers” (2019) is a haunting melody bathed in reverb soaked guitar and psychedelic echoes. Her second release “Sympathy For Apathy” (2019) took a hard right turn, pulling pages from the school of Courtney Barnett with socially charged lyrics and distant, distorted guitar solos.

Moranz released her debut EP ‘Quiet’ in the fall 2021 (produced by Jon Wood) featuring C.R. Avery, Kathleen Nisbet, Jon Wood, and Jodie Ponto, accompanied by a self-produced music video for the title track. In November 2022 Moranz released her second EP ‘Cue The Day’, recorded at Monarch Studios in East Vancouver. This release was accompanied by Moranz’s second self-produced video for the EP’s feature track ‘On Your Way’.

In 2023 Moranz released her latest single ‘What I Want’.  While 'Cue The Day' harkened closer to her folk and wordsmith roots, this single veers into the grungy backwoods of rock and roll. The single was released on all streaming platforms alongside a self produced.
