Newfoundland who plays drums, guitar and piano. Having written her first
song at age 16 about a cousin who died in a traffic accident, Loder was
studying nursing at the Grenfell Campus of Memorial University of
Newfoundland when she released her first album, The Way, in August 2009.
Later that year, she won a talent-search contest hosted by YC
Newfoundland, a Christian youth conference. As part of the award, Loder
was given time with music industry and production professionals who
helped her with Imperfections & Directions, her second album, which was
released at the 2010 YC Newfoundland. Loder's nursing studies hampered
her ability to showcase Imperfections & Directions by touring. Loder was
nominated as Female Artist of the Year at the 2010 MusicNL awards, and
then as Gospel Artist of the Year in 2011. Imperfections & Directions
was nominated as Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year at the
2012 Juno Awards. Loder has asserted that she chose to begin her career
in Contemporary Christian music because it gives purpose to her music.
