Lou Canon is the stage name of Leanne Greyerbiehl,[1] a Canadian indie pop singer-songwriter.[2]

The sister-in-law of Hayden,[3] Canon worked as an elementary school teacher,[4] pursuing music on the side as a hobby, until one year Hayden gave her some time in his home recording studio as a Christmas gift.[5] The sessions resulted in her debut album, which was released in 2011 on Hayden's Hardwood Records.[2]

Canon also appears as a guest vocalist on Hayden's 2013 album Us Alone,[3] and toured with him on several concert dates to support the album.

She has since signed with Paper Bag Records with the release of her second album, Suspicious.[6]

Her third album, Audomatic Body, was released in 2020.[7] In January 2022 she released Reimagine the Body, a six-track EP of songs from Audomatic Body remixed by Époque Selector, Graham Walsh, July Talk, Lido Pimienta, Witch Prophet and Zoon.[8]
