I’m Kelsey McNulty, a professional musician and animator who loves blending music, storytelling, and stop-motion art. I compose, write songs, and perform as a multi-instrumentalist, and I regularly work as a side-person with Canadian artists across genres. I’ve toured internationally and contributed to numerous albums, while also creating visuals and animations for fellow musicians and projects. In addition to performing, I create art and animations for other artists, produced my own album under the moniker Good Fortune (released April 2022), and directed a stop-motion video for Mon Coeur that won Best Music Video at the 2023 Toronto Independent Film Festival. I split my time between Kingston and Toronto, with music placed in TV shows and short films, and I’m always seeking new collaborations—from theatre scores to multimedia projects like Gisele’s Mashup Adventure and upcoming Showtime productions.
