Halie Loren

"It is not just a single thing that makes this vocalist stand out from the rest of the jazz vocalists, but the whole presentation...Not only does Loren fill a room with her wondrous voice when singing in English, but she also maintains a high-spirited uniqueness when singing French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese... Halie Loren is the best." (Live Performance Review / Bill Leikam, All About Jazz)

Halie Loren is an international, award-winning jazz/pop singer/songwriter. She brings a fresh and original perspective to time-honored musical paths, channeling her innate understanding of connectedness across musical boundaries to forge bonds with diverse audiences in North America, Asia, and Europe. Her multi-genre and multi-lingual musical blend across her ten albums to-date has earned several national and international awards in multiple genres as well as significant critical and chart success along the way, with her albums consistently charting at #1 on the Billboard/Japan Jazz Charts, iTunes (Canada and Japan) and Amazon Music.


An award-winning songwriter since her early teens, Loren began garnering international acclaim as a recording artist when her debut jazz CD “They Oughta Write a Song,” was named the Best Vocal Jazz Album of the year at the 2009 JPF Music Awards (at that time the largest independent music awards in the world). She was subsequently signed in Asia by major label JVC/Victor Entertainment and in North America/Europe with celebrated Canadian-based jazz label Justin Time Records. Loren's accolades in more recent years include an Independent Music Award for her original song “Thirsty” in 2011, a Best Vocal Jazz Album 2012 award in Japan’s Jazz Critique Magazine for her album “Heart First,” (which also reached #1 on Canada’s iTunes Jazz chart), and a total of five Billboard #1 albums on Japan’s jazz charts since 2013. Both her 2013 album “Simply Love” and 2015 release “Butterfly Blue” entered Billboard Japan and iTunes Canada as #1 jazz album. Her 2018 release, ‘From the Wild Sky”, a recording of her original songs produced by U.K. tour-de-force Troy Miller (Amy Winehouse, Jaime Cullum, Gregory Porter), garnered her an Emmy for her 2nd single’s video “Noah” in 2019 for Best Music Video as presented by The National Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Southeast Chapter. In September, 2022, she released a live CD recorded at The Cotton Club in Tokyo,
Along with recording and songwriting successes, Loren’s live performances have brought her around the world several times, with performances on 4 continents thus far, including tours across the U.S., Canada, France, the U.K., Japan, Italy, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Egypt, and Haiti. Her concerts range from intimate to expansive, from a classic jazz trio format to lush orchestral collaborations (which have thus far included the Jazz Orchestra of Sicily, the Glacier Symphony of Montana, the Monroe Symphony in Louisiana, the prestigious International Britt Fest Orchestra and the Eugene Symphony, Corvallis-OSU Symphony Orchestra and Newport Symphony Orchestra in Oregon.
Loren is continuing to perform across the US and other countries, visiting new cities and countries during her tours, and is recording her newest album in Montreal, BC, to be released in April, 2024. Stay tuned!

"Halie Loren has a sixth sense around lyrics, their compilations, complications, and hidden gems, catchy tunes, and what makes for arresting, unforced melody, with harmonious arrangements that stray just far enough from the status quo to still be interesting. She’s a good songwriter, maybe one of the best, maybe someone who could headline Coachella and accept the next Oscar for the next “Star Is Born.” That good....Her original songs sounded like they were already popular, timeless covers, the ones you want to hear.
