Jodi Pederson

Raised in the small town of Vernon, BC, Jodi Pederson is a proud Canadian singer/ song writer. Her life’s experiences and influences filter the emotion and heartfelt lyrics in her songs. Jodi’s music is inspired by artists such as Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, The Beatles, Sara McLachlan, Blue Rodeo, Queen and many more great musicians. These musicians are the roots of Jodi’s musicianship that opened doors for Jodi to craft her own unique sound and style. Jodi Pederson was born into a family with a deep appreciation of music. It wasn’t unusual to hear the tunes being blasted from the old record player, with her family singing along. Jodi and her two sisters, Brandi (the eldest) and Hannah, (the youngest) often sang together at family gatherings. It was this experience that developed Jodi’s ear for harmonizing. She learnt her first scales on the guitar from her uncle Wes Pederson, and had her first attempt at recording later on with musician, Chris Madsen. It is with thanks to her parent’s love and persistency that she has gotten to where she is today. Pederson was recognized by Jack Lenz (Passion of the Christ, Goosebumps, etc.) of Lenz Entertainment at the age of seventeen, who later directed her first album, “Seasons”. The album is a portrait of strength and weakness of the human heart, a smooth mixture of acoustic, as well as more produced songs. Jodi Pederson has had the pleasure of working and writing with music producer Asher Lenz, singer/song writer Adam Crossley, (Josh Groban, etc.) and music engineer Michael Jack (Bono, Hilary Duff, Nelly Furtado etc.). At the age of eighteen, she was chosen by Bill Henderson (Chilliwack) and Roy Forbes (formerly Bim), for a song writing workshop many competed to enrol in. Compared to Joni Mitchell for her creative song writing, Jodi Pederson sings of melodic experiences, filtered by heartfelt emotion and honesty.
