Ryder made a stunning chart entrance last November with her full-length label debut, "is it o.k." The highly praised album – which includes the hit singles, "Little Bit of Red" and "All For Love" – premiered at #1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers Albums" chart, marking the week's top-selling album by a new or developing artist. "is it o.k.," has already received gold certification from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) in Ryder's native Canada, where it has earned reams of critical acclaim as well as the 2009 Juno Award for "Adult Alternative Album of the Year."

In the US, "Little Bit of Red" proved a Top 10 sensation at Triple A radio, placing Ryder alongside Grammy Award-nominees Adele and Duffy as one of only three female artists to chart Top 10 at the format in the past year. A charismatic and tireless live performer, Ryder has spent much of the past year on the road with artists such as the Wallflowers, Howie Day and NEEDTOBREATHE. Following this tour she will join the Barenaked Ladies, on their upcoming US headline tour and appear on this summer's much anticipated 2010 Lilith Tour.
