Loryn grew up in a small town outside of Calgary where she wrote her first song, “Powerless” at the age of 12. After recording a demo tape that found it’s way into the hands of a radio DJ, Loryn was flown to Toronto for Canadian Music Week.
“I met the right people,” says Loryn. “It was luck and I was willing to work hard for it. Sometimes that is all it takes. I came from nothing in a tiny town with no connections in the industry. I completely built them from showing up and shaking the right hands.”
Loryn was soon sent to Los Angeles and began working as a professional singer/songwriter throughout her teenaged years. Her hard work and persistence paved a road to success. Her first music video was nominated for a Juno Award and Loryn continues to be recognized throughout Canada for her talents in music. She was just awarded 2nd place in the Cobalt Prize for songwriter of the year at the 23rd annual Maple Blues Awards.
