In 2008, Rennison relocated to New York City to begin training at the Circle in the Square Theatre in their two-year acting program, which she left halfway through after they refused to allow her into their musical theatre track because of her low range and untrained voice.

After moving back home to Vancouver, she met Parker Bossley and began writing songs, which soon led to the formation of No Sinner, a rock/soul/blues outfit with drummer Ian Browne and guitarist Eric Campbell. Since the release of their debut EP, Boo Hoo Hoo, No Sinner has gained wide acclaim and national radio play, performing at music festivals across the country.
