Kayla Irwin had her beginnings in rural surroundings. Her family enjoyed family life in smaller towns, eventually settling down in Alliston, Ont., where Kayla has lived since the age of 9.  

Encouraged by a family friend who immediately recognized her talent, Kayla began taking weekly vocal lessons. Like her idol Britney Spears, Kayla turned to outlets such as singing competitions, talent shows and local coffee shops to display and hone her artistic craft. Always surprising her audience, Kayla consistently placed 1st or 2nd.

It was at one of these competitions that Kayla was discovered by her management team OnTime Music Group who noticed her un-doubtable star quality. Managers Kurt Gentles and Jessica Sack-Tina brought Kayla to the studio to record her first single, “I was so excited to start working with a professional team and I totally flipped out when Kurt told me Lil Jon was going to be on my first track!” says Kayla.

Kayla Irwin's debut single ‘Step On It’ featuring ‘Lil Jon’ was released in Canada in the spring of 2011. After great success across Canada, the vivacious teens edgy CHR pop song was noticed by Upstream Music, under the Strictly Rhythm Records umbrella. They realized the huge potential of the song and Kayla as an artist. Upstream Music and the Strictly Rhythm family quickly signed Kayla to an international record deal, “I am ready to take my music to a bigger audience. I think my sound will appeal to all demographics. I can’t wait to share my music with the world” says Kayla.


Old school with a modern twist, The Inoculated Canaries are a fusion of Deep Purple and The Foo Fighters.  Eclectic, boundary defying, and never lacking in sarcastic remarks, The Inoculated Canaries (in.oc.u.lat.ed  ca.nar.ies)are a rock and roll force to be reckoned with. Hailing from New York, the “four guys who can’t dance” are striving to leave their musical legacy; inspired by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Nirvana, The Inoculated Canaries are constantly pushing themselves to explore new, innovative sounds while making their presence known. 

The unforgettable quartet is composed of Michael Rubin (guitar, vocals), James Terranova (drums), Dylan Gross (bass), and Brian Sweeney (keyboard). Coming from diverse backgrounds and varied musical influences, the band values creativity above all else; striving to combine familiar elements with the unexpected, The Inoculated Canaries attempt to make sense of individualism and humanity in the most honest way possible: 

“We want to take those raw human emotions we all feel in the darkness of our minds and write songs about them. We’re not here to be rich or famous, we’re here to be great. To us, Greatness means making music that is real, and we are absolutely relentless about every single note. Greatness means learning from the best, but always being original.  Greatness is sometimes having to stick up your middle finger to authority, convention and even the person in the mirror... Side-Effects may include crying, laughing, a sudden sense of existential dread, and/or hearing-loss.” 

The rockers are immensely passionate about the music they share and the experience they create for fans. The band had the opportunity to open for The Mowglis in 2017 , COIN in 2019 and played ‘Cult of Personality’ live with Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbish of Living Colour.   

The Inoculated Canaries also worked directly with Matt Squire (producer of Panic! at the Disco, Ariana Grande, The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Demi Lovato and more). Focusing on melody and arrangement, Squire helped the band to develop their sound and allowed them to pour their souls into the tracks, "Hypocrite" "Sneakers" and "The Lawyer's Wife". 

The Inoculated Canaries' first EP "The Blue Laws" was soon followed by their single "Don't Be Late", a live prog performance "The Fifth Song" and an acoustic version of their song "Jericho".  Their second EP "Trying Times" was also followed by singles "Count Me Out", "Who Are You", "The Lawyer's Wife", "Sneakers" and "Donna".
