Let me re-introduce you to Katelyn Lehner.

Born and raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Lehner has already made her mark on the Canadian country scene, but now she’s entering a bold new era. After a year spent writing and recording between Nashville and Toronto, Lehner is stepping fully into her artistry as a pop artist, with her debut pop single “Waiting to Forget.”

Raised on Britney Spears and inspired by the pop precision of Ariana Grande, Lehner’s next era is built for a new stage. Her debut pop single was recorded earlier this year in Toronto with Joel Stouffer, a two-time Juno Producer of the Year nominee.

Lehner’s momentum is backed by a proven track record. Her breakout single “Something I’d Like” reached #29 on Canada’s Hot AC chart through pure self-promotion, making her the 2^nd most played fully independent artist in all of 2025. Lehner has earned four #1 singles on SiriusXM radio and was featured as the cover artist for Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country. With over half a million lifetime streams and 3 million TikTok views, her audience is already moving with her.

She’s performed on stages including Country Thunder, Nashville North, Cowboys Music Festival and the Labour Day Classic Halftime Show, alongside appearances with some of Canada’s biggest country acts.

Now, with a new sound, a growing audience, and a year of intentional creative development behind her,Katelyn Lehner is positioned for her breakout moment as she steps into the pop world. “Waiting to Forget” is only the beginning.
