• I am a Soul Folk Pop singer-songwriter from Vancouver, Canada. Genres include Pop, Folk, Soul, Indie, Americana, Adult Singer-Songwriter, Adult Contemporary – and recently released my first Spanish Latin Pop track.
• My style is intelligent, intimate, evocative, boho chic and influenced by my Indigenous and European heritage while staying true to my jazz roots ALA Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, Alicia Keys & Norah Jones.
• I’ve a 45-song One Stop catalogue, with most stems and instrumentals. Placements incl. on LionsGate & Fox TV’s “Higher Ground,” Mutant Film’s “The Orchard,” short film “Ryan & Lola’s Adventure” a few promotional ads and CBC Radio’s current “The Early Edition” theme song.
• I do vocals, lyrics, melodies, songwriting, acoustic guitar, piano and am available for vocal sessions (English, French, Spanish), cowrites and collaborations.
With a voice as seductive as it is soulful, this Soul Folk Pop singer-songwriter weaves jazz roots into modern melodies with effortless grace. Her pitch perfect vocals glide over mainly acoustic arrangements that feel both intimate and powerful, pulling listeners into a world of Boho chic warmth and emotional rawness. Blending pop sensibilities with dangerously honest lyrics, she delivers a performance that’s both vulnerable and bold – an evocative experience where every note tells a story and every silence speaks volumes.
In 2025, Parks diversifies and expands to release her first Spanish Latin Pop songs, starting with catchy, dreamy "Vamos" ("Let's Go") and start a Music Wellness business with 1:1 consulting/coaching, a book, eventually an app.
2022-2023 singles (6) are "Somber yet hopeful, carrying on with resilience," says Parks, speaking to forgiveness and female empowerment.
2020’s No Apologies, feat. singles "Dreamer" and 2x International Songwriting Competition semi-finalist "Freight Train," encourages us to own all of who we are, stand strong in our roots and our right to be.”
From fronting a 17-piece all-male Big Band to sole lyricist/vocalist/acoustic guitarist in folk rock band Sonnenblume, to leading Lola Parks since 2002, Parks has created a fiercely independent professional music history. 5 continents. 5 sync rep deals. 45-song One Stop catalogue.
• Syncs in TV's Higher Ground, Mutant Films' "The Orchard," CBC’s Early Edition theme song
• Female Songwriter of the Year (VIMA), Outstanding Vocal Jazz Musician (Denver)
• Top 10 Indigenous Music Countdown (3x)
• Semi-Finalist: International Songwriting Competition (2x)
• Top 5 Finalist: InnoNative BullsEye Prize
