Storry (musician)
Storry is the stage name of Dina Koutsouflakis, a Canadian pop singer.[1] She is a two-time Juno Award nominee, receiving nods for Reggae Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020 for her single "Another Man",[2] and for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year for her album CH III: The Come Up.[3]
Raised in the Rexdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Koutsouflakis studied jazz and opera singing at Vanier College and the University of Toronto.[4] Following university, she embarked on a relationship that soon turned abusive, with her partner forcing her into work as a stripper but controlling both her finances and her social contact with friends and family.[1] When the relationship ended after eight years, she took a trip to India to study yoga, but decided to recommit herself to music after encountering repeated omens that music was the path she was meant to take.[5]
She released CH III: The Come Up, her debut album, in February 2020,[4] and followed up in September with the EP Interlude-19.
She identifies as pansexual.[6]
