It would not be entirely accurate to refer to Magi Merlin as only a singer or a songwriter. Music is indeed at the core of her artistry, but her world expands beyond the medium. It is one that is equally visual as it is auditory, one that is continuously shaped through collaborations with producers such as Funkywhat, designers, photographers, video directors and even film directors: Magi Merlin recently made her acting debut with a role in the movie "Mile End Kicks" from writer-director Chandler Levack (“I Like Movies”).

As she’s been spending the majority of her time in the studio, Magi Merlin is back with A Weird Little Dog, an unexpected and unapologetic EP which comes out right on time for the start of an American tour in support of contemporary jazz artist Nubya Garcia.

Co-produced by Merlin and Montreal beatsmith Funkywhat, A Weird Little Dog sees the former leaning deeper than ever into her artistic integrity, intentionally avoiding traditional commerciality and trusting her fans and listeners to take their time with this work and hopefully see themselves in it.
