Bella Frances is a theatrical country singer-songwriter whose old soul storytelling fuses emotional theatrics with intimate lyricism. Born in Toronto, she crafts “cabaret country” music — songs that speak to bold dreamers who believe feeling deeply is a sign of strength.
She teamed up with Juno-winning, Grammy-nominated producer Rob Szabo on her debut single “Magic,” followed by three more singles and her first EP, She'll Cross Oceans. She’s performed on stages from Toronto CityTV’s CMCTV Talent series to the main stage of Roots North Music Festival (2026).
Frances is now preparing her debut full-length album — a diaristic new country record that blends theatrical storytelling, deeply personal lyricism, and emotional liberation.
​
Her first self-illustrated poetry collection "chrysalis" is out now.
"It's all there; Bella's songwriting, storytelling, emotion, stage presence and voice. It's all there."
- David Amram (Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Willie Nelson, New York Philharmonic composer-in-residence)
"Her innate ability to
craft poignant narratives through her music sets her apart as a true storyteller."
- Dan Swinimer, BCCMA Producer of the Year, CCMA Producer of the Year nominee, BCCMA Songwriter of the Year nominee, Producer/songwriter (Madeline Merlo, Tony Stevens), Manicdown Music (Founder)
