Magi Merlin is a Canadian musician and actress.

Life and career

Magi Merlin [pronounced Mahd-j-eye] is from Montreal.[1] She is queer.[2]

She has co-written and co-produced largely alongside Funkywhat, a collaborator with whom she has built a shared musical language, Magi’s alternative forms of Pop and R&B are about as high-definition as one can imagine, without sacrificing sensuousness and emotion. Her 2022 EP Gone Girl is music that feels alive, animated by a voice that blends unruly maximalism and earned wisdom. It sent her on a European tour with Noga Erez and later on a one-off concert in Mexico City with Omar Apollo. A surprise EP in 2025, A Weird Little Dog, brought a deepened emphasis to her experimental style and gave rise to Broken R&B, a genre she named and owns entirely, less a marketing category than an honest account of how she works, her art direction and visual world as idiosyncratic and charged as the music itself.

Merlin performing in 2022

In 2026, Magi began releasing singles from her debut album, starting with "POPSTAR", and followed by "SpiceKick"[3] and "So Smart".[4] Her debut album Power House (stylized in all caps) is set to release on July 10, 2026, on ONErpm & Bonsound.[5][6]

Magi appeared as Chloe in the 2025 film Mile End Kicks.[7]
