Lydia Sutherland has had a whirlwind year - or a few, to say the least.

This year, she released her EP pretty girls don’t cry, has written with some her favourite songwriters - and got dropped from her first major record deal.

Lydia reached out prior to the release of her latest single “Nashville, Nashville” to talk about her year.

In the best place she’s ever been mentally, with a healthy routine, writing the best songs she’s written, losing her record deal turned out to be something she needed.

We talked about the lessons she’s learned through this journey, the investment in her mental health, and what she has in store as she continues to make her way as a songwriter.

Sarah Vanderzon grew up south of Montreal, Quebec. Blending her influences and style, Sarah’s sound infuses folk, pop, and country music.

Being very shy growing up, stepping out of her shell has been a process. We talked about Sarah’s journey to the spotlight at center stage - even if she still hides behind her instruments.

In 2023, Sarah was a finalist on Quebec’s spin off of The Voice, “La deuxième voix” and was coached by Quebec icon Roxane Bruneau. She used this experience to grow her fanbase, increasing her presence on social media and releasing her EP “Same Sad Eyes”.

This year, Sarah took to the stage at Boots and Hearts Music Festival for the Emerging Artist Showcase. Not only did she make it to Sunday and perform on the main stage before Nate Smith, but she took home the title for the year.

We chatted more with Sarah about growing up, leaning into her creative side, “La deuxième voix”, Boots and Hearts, her adorable corgi, and more!
