Halie Loren is an international, award-winning jazz singer and songwriter. Raised in Alaska, this Oregon-based artist 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 eleven 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, Halie 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 Independent Music Awards. She was subsequently signed for distribution in Asia by JVC/Victor Entertainment and in North America with Canadian-based jazz label Justin Time Records (Nettwerk Music Group).
Along with recording and songwriting successes, Halie’s live performances have brought her around the world several times, with performances on 4 continents. Her concerts range from intimate to expansive, from a classic jazz trio format to lush orchestral collaborations both in the US and in Europe.
Halie is currently touring internationally in support of her latest album "Dreams Lost and Found", recorded in Montreal, Canada and featuring several fellow Justin Time Records artists (released April, 2024).
It is obvious that Loren has really been moved by these classics and the emotion that she breathes into the music is almost kinesthetic. Her personality shines through, and her originals are believable and meaningful, and each one has a slightly different style showing her creativity.
