 Kellie Loder was born to Christina and Bob Loder in 1988 , and was raised in Badger , a town in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador . She considers her first introduction to music to have taken place before she was born ; her mother frequently played Michael W. Smith songs to her through headphones while she was still in the womb . Loder claims to have " natural rhythm " and that she began emulating the drummer at her Pentecostal church by beating on a pew with pencils at the age of two . At age 10 , Loder was placed in her church 's drumming ensemble .
