LULLABIES AND LOVESONGS -- Backed by guitar or small band, her performances are immediate; her vocal delivery unmistakable and sweet. Karyn's candid ballads of love and loss are sultry, poignant and quirky. Her musical influences span across folk, pop and smooth jazz.
"Lovely..."

FALL 2003 KARYN ELLIS INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED HER THIRD RECORDING, a six-song CD entitled Bird. Prior to this, Karyn released limited runs of two other albums, Inside and Back and Telling Stories, both of which enjoyed Campus airplay and charting. The recordings on the new CD first came about as reference tracks for a full-length CD. However, repeated audience requests at live shows for recordings of her new songs encouraged her to release these six tracks as songs-in-progress while continuing to work on the larger CD project.
Released with minimal marketing fanfare, Bird has achieved attention across Canada, airing nationally on CBC and receiving spins on campus stations across the country. Karyn has been featured on the homepage of NewMusicCanada.com (an online CBC affiliate), as well as on Zed.cbc.ca, and she was featured on the DigYourRoots.ca website, an initiative of the National Association of Campus Radio (NCRA/ANREC) to promote Canadian indie talent in the Roots genre.
"If you haven't heard this woman sing, you are missing out....what a refreshing new voice!"
--NewMusicCanada.com
Bird's physical packaging itself reflects Karyn's creative grassroots approach to her musical career, each cover of this limited edition release is hand silk-screened and block printed by Karyn herself in "Mathilde's Home Productions headquarters", aka: her living room. Finished with hockey tape, each copy is uniquely numbered.
