Kellie Loder
Kellie Loder is a Juno Nominated singer / songwriter from Newfoundland & Labrador, and very much a part of the vibrant artistic community she grew up in. Loder has a voice, which the NL Telegram describes as “so
powerful, yet serene and soulful”. Loder is quickly becoming recognized as one of the province’s most prolific songwriters bringing honest, dynamic feeling and lyrically driven content to each song. Her melodies never fail to get stuck in the heads of her audience, and are accompanied always by a powerful performance.
On February 3rd, 2017, Loder released to radio “Boxes”, a teaser & prerelease to her upcoming album “Monster”, set for release in December 2017. Loder’s 3rd full length album is in the final stages of completion, and she and her team are currently setting up a fall songwriting trip to Toronto. This trip will include a mini tour of ON and pockets of QC in order to help build on her current fan base. Strategic Toronto showcase are being set up for the industry professionals in order to help us find the right home with the right team. This is all a huge part of making sure the right decisions and timing sync perfectly with the album launch. Loder has opened for successful artists like Amelia Curran, Alan and Northern Ireland’s songwriting sensation Paul Brady. Others played with are Ria Mae, The East Pointers, Matt Mays, Repartee, Fortunate Ones, Sherman Downey, and
more. Loder has showcased at the ECMA’s, MusicNL Week, and CMW. She was named regional winner, and a top ten finalist in the 2015 National CBC Searchlight Competition. In 2015 and 2016, Loder was selected from the
many applicants for the Bell Media Songwriting Challenge. This opportunity introduced her to the idea of co-writing and also to the collaboration with award-winning songwriter / producer Justin Gray (John Legend, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse) who produced & mixed a few trax on her upcoming album. The Bell Media Songwriting Challenge also introduced Loder to Sandy Pandya, and that ultimately led to Loder signing a
worldwide publishing deal with Pandyamonium Music Publishing.
