Cutting her first independent release at fifteen years of age, Serena Ryder was establishing a music career while most of her peers were just starting to find social niches in high school. Within the next ten years, Ryder would sign to a major label, release three albums, share stages with Steve Earle, Cheap Trick, and Aerosmith, and pick up two Juno Awards - one for New Artist of the Year in 2008 and another for Adult Alternative Album of the Year in 2009. Her powerful three-octave vocal range drives her songs, rolling anthems that make use of blues, country and western, and rock 'n' roll influences all marshaled deftly into unique and intensely catchy pop tunes.
