Bio:

Lloyd Smiley is an Ottawa-based Musician.

"Some people in the Ottawa music scene are gluing Popsicle sticks together & calling themselves carpenters... while [Lloyd Smiley] is the kind of musician who would invest in a table saw..."  ~Dave.

Lloyd was born in Ottawa, Ontario, just up the Sunnyside hill near the Rideau River & raised in the countryside of North Gower.  He currently lives half of the year in Canada's busy Capital city & the other half in near-seclusion beside a Lake just West of Montreal, where there are no roads, & he has has time to pour many long hours into cultivating his uniquely captivating "Cottage Rawk" style. 

"Lloyd's mix of soul & city-blues will keep your toes tapping while he whistles his way into your dreams," said someone on an intercom, as he was introduced as the featured performer at the Canada 150 "Inspiration Village," live, on York Street back in 2017.
