Their History

Claya Way Brackenbury, performing as PINER

is a singer-songwriter based in Katarokwi (Kingston, Ontario) whose work centers on empathy, connection, and social consciousness. Her critically acclaimed debut album, The Breaking Point (2018), established her as a confident and vulnerable voice in Canada’s indie-folk landscape.

She followed with the full-band EP Root Bound (2019), recorded at North of Princess Studios in Kingston, and later released A Netherworld, recorded at Joel Plaskett’s studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The album explores hope and longing during fractured times, reflecting her commitment not only to songwriting but to community action.
