Kerri Anderson is a Canadian pop and rock singer, most prominent in the early 1990s. [1] She is most noted for garnering a Juno Award nomination for Most Promising Female Vocalist at the Juno Awards of 1992. [2]
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Anderson played piano in her youth and played briefly with a local band called Wages of Sin [1] before recording a number of demo songs. [1] The songs garnered her airplay on 96 K-Lite in the city, and the station recorded one of her subsequent live shows for broadcast; [1] the recording in turn led to her becoming the first artist signed to Randy Nicklaus' Impact Records. [1]
Impact released Anderson's album Labyrinth in 1991. [3] However, by 1992 Impact Records was being taken over by MCA Records, and Labyrinth got lost in the shuffle. [4] Left without a record label, Anderson battled clinical depression for several months before reemerging as a performer on Edmonton's local music scene again. [4]
