Coming from a country renowned for producing outstanding singer-songwriters, Lynn Miles is considered Canadian songwriting royalty. With a JUNO Award (Canada’s Grammy) in 2003 for Roots Traditional Album of the Year, Lynn subsequently received JUNO nominations in 2006 and 2011. She has also taken home six Canadian Folk Music Awards, including three for Songwriter of the Year and one for Contemporary Singer of the Year.

Lynn has performed her music in 16 countries. She was a staff songwriter for the Los Angeles–based publisher Criterion Music, alongside Lyle Lovett, Rosanne Cash, and Rodney Crowell. Her first record deal was with Rounder Records in the United States and Continental Records in The Netherlands, and she is currently signed to True North Records in Canada.

She performed music from The Lord of the Rings with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra at Place des Arts in Montreal, alongside Academy Award–winning composer and conductor Howard Shore. She has also toured three times with Rolling Stone Top 200 Guitarist (and musical hero) Richard Thompson. In 2016, American bluegrass artist Claire Lynch recorded Lynn’s song “Black Flowers” on her Grammy-nominated album North by South.

Lynn’s 15th album, We’ll Look for Stars, reached the number one position on the Euro-Americana Chart for August 2022. On her newest album, her 16th, TumbleWeedyWorld, she sings about the differences between people, ultimately revealing how much we share in common. As always, her ever-emotive voice carries each lyric with breathtaking clarity and heart-wrenching honesty. The album has been nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Album of the Year.

Lynn has twice served as songwriting mentor at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in the past eight years, and she taught songwriting at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, for four years. She has produced albums for six other singer-songwriters and has also given talks on artists and mental health.
