Louise Kent
It's undeniable that Louise is a storyteller, through and through. It comes out in her music, her speeches, the way she fills a room. Since 2004, Louise has told these stories to more than 250,000 as a motivational speaker and performer with Me to We. Louise is the first artist with Me to We Music, a socially-responsible label that spotlights social issues through the universal language of music.
Her presentations are an experience of the senses, lighting up stages with an unforgettable presence that seamlessly floats between nuanced intimacies and campfire simplicities. Her lyrics and music light up your ears while her spoken tales of living with communities in need inspire your mind and heart to action. After having travelled to over 25 countries around the world, building schools and volunteering in overcrowded orphanages, Louise has many lessons to share.
Armed with a degree in international development and on-the-ground experience in China, Kenya, India and beyond, Louise has the worldly experience to back it all up. She has been on Oprah's O Ambassadors Roots of Action speaking tour across North America, and has shared the stage with some of the world’s most impressive leaders and entertainers including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Mia Farrow, John F. Kennedy Jr., Sarah McLachlan and Jason Mraz. With multiple performances for audiences of over 16,000 at We Day events under her belt, Louise is poised to take the world by storm.

"Louise was perfect! She was exactly what we needed to kick-start and inspire leadership, global awareness and action amongst our girls. In their eyes, she is a goddess. The girls were really pumped by her morning performance/presentation as well as by the leadership workshops that she and Saskia did in the afternoon. I have already heard from parents that the day (and Louise) was a hot dinner time topic. One class has an initiative going and I am sure that there will be more."
- Caroline Parker, Principal, Calgary Girls School

"The performance by Louise Kent was amazing. She inspired me to help the cause! Instead of thinking about myself, I´ll think about other people too. I want to make a huge event. It´ll be the best kids I know, playing hockey. To get into the game, it will be $5. This will help me and a few friends to get to Africa to help build a school."

"I find Louise’s songs very inspirational and motivational. Her songs inspire and motivate the audience to help the causes to the best of their abilities. I know this because this is what I felt when I heard her sing. Louise Kent is truly talented and amazing."
