Lyra Brown is an Edmonton-based singer-songwriter, writer, and visual artist whose work blends indie-pop, piano-driven melodies, and surreal, emotionally charged lyricism. Known for crafting immersive sonic worlds with cinematic storytelling, her music balances whimsy, melancholy, and sharp emotional observation.
Following a series of home recordings, Lyra released her debut album, The Language of Eyes, in 2015. The record finished at #7 on CJSR’s Top 300 Albums of the Year and earned four nominations at the 2016 Edmonton Music Awards.
In 2018, Lyra released “A Little Vulture Told Me,” accompanied by a continuous-shot pop-up music video that went on to win Music Video of the Year at the Edmonton Music Awards and Best Music Video at the Alberta Film & Television Rosie Awards. That same year, she also received awards for Adult Alternative Recording of the Year and Singer/Songwriter of the Year.
Her sophomore album, Tin Girl (2020), further expanded her distinctive blend of poetic songwriting and experimental pop textures. Now, after a five-year hiatus from releasing music, Lyra returns with Shades of Blue, a cinematic new chapter exploring memory, longing, isolation, and intimacy through dreamy analog imagery and haunting indie-pop production.
