Phyllis Sinclair

Legends of Wisakedjak, and her grandmother's haunting high pitched vocalizations at bedtime fired her imagination and her love of story-telling.

At the age of 10, her family moved to Winnipeg's inner city where she picked up the guitar and began her first foray into songwriting.

As an escape from street life, she sang as soloist, and often with her younger sister and mother at churches, gatherings and local coffee houses.

After spending much of her life working as a journalist across Canada, and in the northern British Columbia commercial fishing industry, Sinclair attained her Master of Business Administration degree while starting a solo career in folk music.

She quickly made a name for himself after being featured in Canada's Penguin Eggs Magazine[2] for her a cappella sea shanty, North Coast Fisher Wife's Prayer.
