Live Nation Presents: Serena Ryder
Friday, November 28, 2025
Toronto-based vocal powerhouse Serena Ryder is a platinum-selling artist adored by fans,
peers and critics alike, in part due to her raw and earnest songwriting, and beautifully electric
live performances. She has won seven prestigious JUNO Awards, including the 2022 Adult
Contemporary Album of the Year for her record The Art of Falling Apart, which invites listeners
to join her mental wellness journey and helps us understand the importance of sitting with the
uncomfortable moments and the wisdom in their messages.
Serena has a unique ability to cross genres – from pop, to folk and roots, to Christmas and
children’s music. Her diverse catalogue has earned her several accolades, including Canada’s
Walk of Fame Allan Slaight Music Impact Honour, the Margaret Trudeau Mental Health
Advocacy Award, a Canada Folk Music Award and Canadian Screen Award for Achievement in
Music–Original Song.
Serena is a mental-wellness advocate who has shared her own story of depression and neuro-
divergency publicly, and speaks across the country to thousands of people each year. Her song
“What I Wouldn’t Do” was reimagined for Kids Help Phone’s Feel Out Loud 2023 campaign —
the largest mental health campaign in Canadian history. Serena also works with emerging
musicians and industry professionals through her ArtHaus Community non profit, helping them
develop creative, entrepreneurial and wellness skills needed to thrive in today’s music and
media landscape.
