BIOGRAPHY



Lorraine Hartsook is a Canadian award-winning singer, wongwriter, conference speaker and author. She has traveled extensively since launching her professional career and is now a sought-after interntaional entertainer who brings a message of faith hope and love to her audiences.

It all started as a true country girl, born and raised on a farm among the wheat fields of Saskatchewan, Canada. A little girl of eight years old who would stand in front of her bedroom mirror imitating artists from radio and dreaming of recording her own album some day.

This little girl’s dream became reality when with borrowed money and a 24 track recording studio, her debut album “Believe and Receive” was nominated for Best Country Gospel Album in 1994 by the Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA). Today, with five more albums, Lorraine has been accredited with numerous nominations and three awards from the SCMA, Gospel Music Association of Canada and Country Gospel Music Association out of Branson, Missouri.

In March 2006, Lorraine’s most recent CD entitled Embrace The Cross was awarded Best Country Gospel Album by the SCMA. In October 2006, GMA of Canada announced two nominations for the song Embrace The Cross for Inspirational Song Of The Year and her new music video Bring That Child To Me for DVD Music Video Of The Year. That same month, Lorraine also received an international award for Bring That Child To Me as International Music DVD Of The Year from United Catholic Music and Video Awards ( U.C.M.V.A.) in Donnellson, Iowa.

Lorraine thanks God for the foundation that has been laid in recognition of her many talents and abilities: a platform that gives her the opportunity to sing and speak; sharing her powerful testimony of God’s unconditional love that resonates past all barriers. With her heart of compassion, powerful voice, and high-energy presentation, she leaves her Canadian, American and European audiences with a spirit of joy, a new hope and a renewed faith in God. Lorraine is truly touching hearts around the world.
