Serena Ryder was born in Toronto in 1982 and grew up in Millbrook, Ontario, and she sings like a woman who learned to project across a room full of people who weren't listening yet. Guitar and harmonica in hand, she broke through nationally in 2007 with the ballad "Weak in the Knees", and the Juno Awards noticed quickly: Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2008, then Adult Alternative Album of the Year in 2009 and Video of the Year in 2010.

Harmony, released in 2012, is where the folk singer let the stomp in. "Stompa" does just what its title promises, a foot-stomping rave-up, and in 2013 she won Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the Junos for a second time. In 2014 she was named both Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year at the Junos and also collected a Genie Award for Best Original Song. Eight studio albums in, she is still singing at full throttle.
