Big Little Lions is the ferocious songwriting duo of Helen Austin and Paul Otten.
Both successful singer/songwriters in their own right, Austin and Otten met while both on a conference songwriting member success panel and then a couple of years later started the band from afar, with Helen based on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada and Paul in Cincinnati, OH.
It was while Paul was producing for Helen's JUNO Award winning album that they became Big Little Lions and together they have won many awards including 1st place in the International Songwriting Competition, the top prize of Song of the Year in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, Canadian Folk Music Award 2015 for Ensemble of the Year.
