Kelly Derrickson New Single Album Cover, We Are Love
KELOWNA, BC — Indigenous artist Kelly Derrickson, the Voice of Her Nation, has just released an explosive summer rock anthem.
We Are Love celebrates the life-giving power of women and the love of our Creator. It is an uplifting, inspiring, powerful tribute.

Kelly is an accomplished musician who has been recognized for years at the Native American Music Awards for best female artist, best music video, best country recording, and many more. She was recognized there as Best Female Artist for two consecutive years, in 2017 and 2018. No other artist has repeated that honor in consecutive years. Her works feature issues of life, both hardships and joys experienced by indigenous people across North America.

Touching on everything from Idle No More (Idle No More) to youth suicide (Suicide Song) to Mother Nature (I Am), she writes and sings about important issues in a “non-angry way that hopefull
