The STORRY
01 · Who she is
STORRY is a JUNO-nominated multi-disciplinary artist, singer and speaker whose work bridges music, storytelling and social impact.
She has toured internationally, opening for Sting, Tom Jones and Matteo Bocelli, collaborated with artists including Stormzy and Sly & Robbie, was a finalist on The Voice UK, and has performed for global brands, institutions and audiences worldwide. But what sets her apart isn't just where she's performed — it's how she uses music and dialogue to explore power, responsibility, and the stories people carry beneath the surface.
02 · In her words
“Music was the first language I trusted.”
Before I had words for what I'd lived, song was the first place my experiences could breathe. After I performed live, people didn't just listen to the music — they stayed behind, they disclosed, and shared experiences they hadn't named before. I began to realise that music wasn't only expression. It was access.
That insight led me into speaking. The early talks were impactful, but the rooms were filled with people who already understood the conversation. I found myself asking: who wasn't in the room, and why? What would make them lean in?
I realised my work wasn't actually about trafficking. It was about power — how it's lost, outsourced, abused, reclaimed and misunderstood. Today, music and speaking aren't separate entities for me but complementary tools. Music opens people up. Speaking gives language to what surfaces.
I've never been attached to one medium. I follow the message.
Her STORRY
- 01
A star is born
Born to Lebanese and Greek immigrant parents, raised between Toronto and Montréal.

Opera, interrupted
While studying opera at the University of Toronto, STORRY was trafficked by her first 'boyfriend' — cut off from music, community and the world she loved.
- 03
Art in hiding
When singing was impossible, she taught herself to paint. Oil on canvas became the only place she could still speak.
- 04
Escape & awakening
She escaped and travelled to India for yoga teacher training — the turning point where she committed to telling her story through art.
- 05
Hustle made this happen
No label, no backing, no safety net: she wrote, funded and produced her first concept album, and directed her own videos, including the award-winning claymation Up.
- 06
JUNO-nominated — twice
CH III: The Come Up was nominated alongside Céline Dion and Alanis Morissette; her collaboration with Sly & Robbie earned a nod for Reggae Recording of the Year.
