Sheri Marie Ptolemy

Indigenous Country Artist

Sheri Marie Ptolemy is a country singer-songwriter from the Samahquam Nation. She holds a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and a music certificate from Berklee College of Music (2021). Since then, she has been making waves in the country music scene with an honest, roots-driven sound. Sheri delivers heartfelt performances with a fearless spirit. 

Her music features stand-up bass, groovy pedal steel, and raw, confessional lyrics that celebrate the timeless traditions of country music. Sheri's 2025 sophomore EP, Heartbeat, marked a career-defining moment when the project’s single “Angel” was added to Spotify’s North Country, Apple Music’s Indigenous Now, SiriusXM’s Top of the Country, and CBC Radio.  Additionally, she supported Aysanabee on his The Way We're Born Tour. 

Her 2026 project, Shipwrecked has earned three placements on Spotify's North Country Playlist & Apple Music's Indigenous Now Playlist. Sheri’s self-directed narrative short film, created to accompany the title track of Shipwrecked, has received an “Honorable Mention” at the East Village New York Film Festival -- with more festival news to come.

In addition to her work as a recording artist, Sheri directs and edits all of her own music videos, bringing strong visual storytelling to her live and recorded work. Deeply proud of her roots, Sheri is passionate about showcasing the beauty of her home in the coastal mountains of the St’át’imc Nation.
