Bio
Born and raised in the Canadian prairies, Saskatchewanian singer-songwriter Roxie Lenton’s lyric-driven pop-folk music captivates a broad spectrum of human emotion. Music is magic, it can change your mood in a matter of seconds and Roxie’s music wields that magic in a very vivid way. With each song, she invites you on an emotional journey, wearing her heart on her sleeve, and aiming to help others find hope and comfort through her music, letting them know they are not alone in their struggles.
Lenton draws on a wide range of musical influences including Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles, Ed Sheeran, pop-punk icons like Simple Plan and Marianas Trench, and her love of Musical Theatre.
Roxie was classically trained on piano growing up, and learned to play guitar as an adult to expand on her songwriting and performance style. She has been performing as a solo artist for over a decade, accompanying her sultry vocals on both piano or guitar. Her live shows are intimate, and she wears her quirks and awkwardness with pride, endearing herself to fans.
Her music career has seen a lot of false starts, road blocks, and what has often felt like driving in reverse. Following an array of both mental and physical health issues that created barriers in the 2010s, the Covid times that didn’t do her mental health any favours, and her recent venture into motherhood, she has now finally reached a time in her life when all the stars are aligning, and she’s jumping back into music with toddler in tow (well, not really, he’s usually in bed when she works on music), and is preparing for her debut studio release.
Her experiences with mental illness, including the unfortunate stigma that comes with it (though significantly improved from what it used to be), has given Roxie an added purpose: to use her music and her story to help others who suffer from mental illness and to increase awareness and understanding on the subject.
Miss Lenton’s debut EP “Chapters”, an unapologetic venture into the many facets of her emotional journey that captures different moments or “chapters” in her life, is set for release October 2026. Certain songs will specifically address mental illness, while others will focus on the beauty of life, love, and music. The debut single “Empty” is live on streaming services July 14th.
