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 (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.
