JJ Wilde is a dynamic Canadian rock singer who has made significant strides in the music industry since her debut. Emerging from Kitchener, Ontario, she showcased her talent with the release of her first EP, “Wilde Eyes, Steady Hands,” in 2019. This project laid the groundwork for her distinctive sound and artistic identity, capturing the attention of rock enthusiasts across Canada.
In May 2020, Wilde achieved a remarkable milestone with her debut single, “The Rush,” which soared to #1 on Canada’s modern rock, active rock, and mainstream rock charts. This accomplishment placed her among an elite group of artists, as only eleven songs have achieved this feat. Following this success, she released her debut album, “Ruthless,” later that year, which not only resonated with fans but also garnered critical acclaim, winning Rock Album of the Year at the 2021 Juno Awards. This victory marked a historic moment, as Wilde became the first woman to win this award in 25 years, a testament to her exceptional talent and hard work.
In addition to her album success, Wilde has continued to expand her discography with the release of the EP “Wilde” in 2021 and is set to unveil “Best of Me (Pt. 1)” in 2024. Her innovative approach to music and her ability to connect with audiences have solidified her status as a rising star in the rock genre.
Wilde’s influence extends beyond her music; she was selected as one of four artists to be promoted by Collective Arts Brewing’s Audio/Visual Lager in 2020. This initiative highlights her commitment to supporting independent musicians and showcases her as a key figure in the Canadian music scene. With her powerful voice and compelling songwriting, JJ Wilde continues to inspire and captivate audiences, paving the way for a bright future in rock music.
