Hailing from a small town in the Philippines, HAIDEE's passion for music started in karaoke, singing contests, & Sunday worship services. At 16, she embarked on a life-changing journey to reunite with her mother in Edmonton, Canada, where music became her constant companion in an otherwise unfamiliar environment.

Driven by a deep sense of representation as a woman of color, HAIDEE strives to empower her listeners with her music, sparking meaningful conversations and making them feel seen. Praised by blog reviewers such as Billboard Canada,  Purple Pop and The Indie Source for her “heartfelt songwriting” and “emotive vocals,” HAIDEE crafts pop music that resonates on a profound level. Her ability to arrange melodic themes, lush harmonies & vocal prowess takes after artist and vocal producer Ariana Grande and other influences such as Whitney Houston, Jessie J, Taya Smith, & Miley Cyrus shaped her into becoming a captivating live performer.  

HAIDEE quickly became a household name in Alberta’s music scene, gracing major venues like the Starlite Room and The King Eddy, festivals such as JUNOFest, Canadian Music Week,  SkirtsAfire, All Is Bright Winter Festival, Taste Of Edmonton and Calgary’s Lilac Festival and Blue Jay Sessions. HAIDEE’s independent releases have garnered attention from radio stations like CKUA, CJSR, & she became CBC Radio One's featured artist for the 2022 holiday special “Make The Season Kind”, The Provincial Playlist, The Key Of A, and on Telus Story Hive’s Dirt City Songbook series.

Critics predict a bright future for HAIDEE, recognizing her award-winning (Edmonton Music Prize 2024) debut album "This Shouldn’t Be Typical" as a testament to her talent and potential for a lasting career in the music industry. With her unwavering passion and distinctive sound, HAIDEE continues to leave a mark as a promising pop sensation.
