Dina Koutsouflakis, known professionally as Storry (stylized in all caps), is a Canadian singer, songwriter, producer, director, and visual artist.[2][3] 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",[4] and for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year for her album CH III: The Come Up.[5]
Dina Koutsouflakis was born in Canada to Lebanese and Greek parents.[6] Raised in the Rexdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, she studied opera at Vanier College and shortly at the University of Toronto.[7] While attending university, she embarked on a relationship that soon turned abusive, with her partner coercing her into work as an exotic dancer and controlling both her finances and her social contact with friends and family.[2] When the relationship ended, 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.[8]
She released CH III: The Come Up, her debut concept album, in February 2020,[7] and followed up in September with the EP Interlude-19.
