2012 | New Artist of the Year (sponsored by FACTOR and Radio Starmaker Fund) | Lindi Ortega | | The JUNO Awards

Somewhere in an old 1960’s apartment building in Toronto, Canada, a well worn pair of cherry red cowboy boots wait by the door. Sitting on the floor with a bottle of merlot and a red flower in her dark hair is where we find Lindi Ortega.
Ortega released a four song EP titled THE DRIFTER in 2009 which Toronto’s Eye Weekly; called The perfect EP. Lindi was also featured on the track “Good Enough,” for the Major Lazer EP NEVER DIE.
She has completed a new full-length record titled Little Red Boots released on Last Gang Records and produced by Ron Lopata. Lindi has already been proclaimed “one of the most important new artists of the year” (Tom Lanham, The SF Examiner). The record is a collection of songs that aims to speak to the desperado in all of us.
With a unique brand of alt country, a genre she describes as a roadside motel love affair between an old school outlaw and a country darling. It won’t be long before Canada boasts of a brand new country darling.
