Cindë is a session guitarist and a songwriter hailing from Toronto with a book-worthy musical career.

From playing small clubs, to becoming a producer and working in artist management to spinning 360 and landing a lead guitarist spot for Goldie Boutilier, one of Canada’s most exciting pop exports since Shania Twain. Cindë is unstoppable. 

This Canadian  guitar slinger has recently gone on tour with Goldie Boutilier supporting Katy Perry on her Lifetimes Tour and has been rocking her way through world-stages whilst filling in gigs for many more artists such as Lauren Ash and Chris Grey to name a few.  

Her outstanding stage presence matched with emotive musicianship and professionalism makes her stand out from the crowd of session players looking for their big breakthrough. 

We recently caught up with Cindë for an interview where we chatted about her musical journey, favourite guitars and how to get hired as a session musician in 2026.
