Experience Heather Ward

Heather Ward is a Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, gaining prominence as one half of the indie-folk duo The Paper Kites (originally a solo project evolving with Kevin Paton). While initially known for her ethereal vocals and atmospheric guitar work *within* The Paper Kites – achieving over 850 million streams globally – Ward launched her solo career in 2023 with the EP *Everything I Had*.

Her solo work diverges slightly from The Paper Kites’ sound, leaning into more intimate, piano-driven compositions alongside layered vocals and introspective lyricism. Influenced by artists like Joni Mitchell and Phoebe Bridgers, Ward’s style blends folk sensibilities with elements of dream pop and chamber pop.

The Paper Kites have toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Australia, supporting acts like Lord Huron and performing at major festivals including Newport Folk Festival. *Everything I Had* received critical acclaim upon release, praised for its vulnerability and sonic depth. Ward continues to contribute to The Paper Kites while simultaneously building her distinct solo artistry, showcasing a broadening range of songwriting and production skills.
