ProjectPolly, the stage name of Windsor, Ontario artist Dana Louise Menard, is a Canadian hip-hop artist and singer known for blending gritty rap energy, rock intensity, and soulful melodies. With raw lyricism, bold delivery, and a fearless stage presence, ProjectPolly creates music that cuts through pain, survival, confidence, and rebellion with an unapologetic voice.

Largely self-taught, Dana began recording music at a young age and built her foundation through the underground hip-hop scene before bringing her sound to major streaming platforms. Her catalogue includes independent releases such as “Dickcheese,” “Lookin’ Boy,” “Ashley (Ask Me),” “Friendly Fire,” and “Wanderland” featuring J Reno and ZOT.

Beyond the music, ProjectPolly is also a live performer, event organizer, and community builder. She is the co-founder of Hip-Hop & Heels, an all-female showcase created to uplift women in music while supporting local causes, including Hiatus House Windsor.

With a sound that is aggressive, emotional, and genre-bending, ProjectPolly brings a raw, high-impact performance style to every stage.
