Lorraine Reid is perhaps best known as the former powerhouse vocalist of Temprance, where she earned 7 Juno Award nominations. In 1996, the Canadian Euro dance group released a cover version of the song, Forever Young, which reached #8 on the Canadian Dance Chart. Their debut album featured 6 consecutive National Top Ten charting dance singles, and 4 MuchMusic Video Award nominations, which resulted in a 1994 MuchMusic Video Award.

Even before the release of their sophomore album's title track If You Don't Know, Temperance had already garnered acclaim for their first single, Hands of Time, as it won a SOCAN Award for climbing to #1 on RPM's Dance Chart. Its success continued and it cracked the Top 40 Radio Charts. The video for Hands of Time received nominations for both a Juno Award and a MuchMusic Video Award in 2001.

Lorraine's debut solo album Lessons Learned unveils a more soulful and established vocalist, as she provides a window into her heart and the experiences that have made her the vocalist she is today.
