Born Chelsea Amber Nicole Nisbett, she is a singer, songwriter and guitarist, with roots in both the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, in Canada.

The now Halifax-based artist has a multi-cultural background and wide spectrum of musical influences that cause her to create a new sound infusing acoustic rock, jazz, R&B and soul. All this coupled with her soul-touching lyrics makes for nothing short of a truly captivating songwriter and performer.

Jordan Warford (Editorial Manager of www.guitartips.com.au) has commented: “If there were three words to sum up this inspiring artist, they would have to be integrity, class, and passion. Chelsea Nisbett is a new talent recently merging into the music industry. She brings with her a refreshing outlook on life and a tremendous aptitude for music that has been refined over recent years.”

Chelsea’s new anticipated CD entitled New Beginnings has just been released and is now available online and in select stores. It is a seven track EP featuring six songs she’d written herself. This release is a great step towards her goal of having a music career and ministry and the enthusiasm surrounding the project is certainly something to take notice of!

Nisbett has been singing ever since she can remember. All through elementary and junior high she sang in choirs at both school and church, and was a member of the Young Musicians Program at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Riverview, New Brunswick, under noted organist and choir director, James Duffett.

In high school she gained experience singing at weddings, funerals, various churches, concerts, school events, coffee houses and competitions. In 2003, she performed on ATV’s annual Christmas Daddies telethon and also won Sackville High School’s “Music Mania” (Battle of the Bands), which she won a second time in 2004.

Her first official studio recording, a song session occurred at the Mark Lloyd studio in Moncton, New Brunswick, in 2002, with a song called Don't Hide. It was later submitted as her entry to the Panteen Pro V songwriting competition later that same year.

Among other winnings, she is also Cobequid Idol’s winner for 2004, the second competition held to raise money for the Cobequid Multi-Service Centre. Some of her favourite performances include ATV’s Breakfast Television in 2004, and Global Noon in 2006. She has also opened for the Jeff Somers Band concert during Tidal Impact 2006 where there were about 1500 youth in the crowd. The radio stations have picked up on this brewing talent as she has received airplay on Halifax’s Christian Radio Station CJLU 93.9FM in 2005 and Truro Hope 98.5FM in 2006.

Chelsea credits most of her musical experience to the church, where she began singing and playing guitar. She is now one of the worship leaders at her church and really enjoys what she does. She has even led worship with a band at the Deeper ’05 youth conference in Saint John, NB in March 2005.

Chelsea truly believes that God has blessed her with a wonderful "gift", she is so thankful that she, through her music can bring joy to people's lives... and even change the world in the process.

The future looks bright for this young, new talent.

Jeremy Webb of the Daily News recognizes this at one of her live performances: “Chelsea Nisbett came next, with three songs that proved the Dal student is going places. Nisbett mastered the mike and won over the crowd.” Keep watch for Chelsea’s upcoming musical endeavours as she hits the stage with her debut CD New Beginnings in tow.

Chelsea Nisbett comes by her talent honestly. She has worked hard, through countless rounds of both guitar and vocal training to create a sound that is uniquely hers.

Her paternal grandfather, Rev. Canon Thomas Nisbett, was a member of the popular Bermudian acapella singing group, the Nisbett Brothers, and her grandmother, Winifred Nisbett, has been a choir director and vocal coach since the 1940's.

Her first commercial CD, "New Beginnings" is due to be released in February 2007.
