Born in Alliston Ontario, Dayle McLeod discovered her passion for singing and acting after joining her church choir and participating in school musicals. She got her start in entertainment starring in Martin Gero’s series The L.A Complex, and Kristin Waterson’s epic gay web series Thats My DJ. Inspired by Canadian folk artists and songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Jann Arden, Dayle McLeod’s music is a fusion of classic folk and millennial pop sensibilities. Her first L.P ‘FRIENDS’ was released in 2018. In film, she had a supporting role and a featured song in Mary Harron’s film Charlie Says that tells the infamous story of the women behind the Charles Manson cult murders. It premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival in August 2018. We list her credits as an actor.
