Jewell and STORRY discuss hard knocks. Do people have to experience hardship in order to relate to the hardships of others?
STORRY’s music media video "UP" was screened at the Female Filmmakers Festival Berlin. STORRY has faced personal challenges, which range from what she describes as recovering from an abusive ex, and working as a stripper. STORRY is on a mission to challenge stereotypes of the sex industry, and squash any notions that sex workers’ lives aren’t as nuanced as everyone else.
Born in Toronto as Dina Koutsouflakis, Storry spent her formative years in the Mississauga, Ontario before moving to Montreal where she studied vocal jazz at Vanier College. She returned to Toronto to take opera at a local university before deciding she found greater passion in writing original songs.
