Hollie Ellen Mann

I am an Award-winning Canadian composer, musician and performer with over 20 years of experience creating music that connects, inspires, and tells stories. My work spans songwriting, live performance, and original compositions for film and visual media. Blending genres, I aim to craft music that resonates emotionally, whether on stage, in a recording, or on screen.

​

I began my career as HarpAcash, the front person of a signed band, touring extensively and honing my craft in both performance and the studio. That foundation led to a solo career and a focus on composing for film, with credits including, My Fighter (Best Composer, Montreal Women Film Festival, Tinwff), and Now Is Not a Good Time (Selected to screen at IFFSA) . Across these projects, I create scores that amplify story, mood, and emotion.

​

Alongside composing and performing, I’m deeply committed to fostering creativity in others through teaching, mentoring, judging, and curating music events.

​

A graduate in audio engineering, I bring a technical edge to every project, from recording and producing music to sound design and post-production for film. Whether I’m writing a song, scoring a film, or mentoring other musicians, my goal is to create music that lingers, connects, and leaves a lasting impression.
