ABOUT

A masterful storyteller and dynamic vocalist, trailblazing Canadian singer-songwriter, Jade Turner, invites listeners on a compelling journey of realization and growth on her remarkable third studio album, “Breathe”. Courageously sharing her most personal project to date, Turner’s diary-like songbook of lessons learned through lived experience offers a collection of thought-provoking, empowering, and poignant songs that continue to resonate long after being heard. Her exceptional, award-winning songwriting and powerful delivery take center stage as she bravely covers topics that include bullying, addiction, self-discovery, and anxiety. Displayed across a musical spectrum of genres - Americana, Roots, and Country, and a range of tempo, “Breathe” features collaborations with legendary artist Crystal Shawanda, and Sebastian Gaskin. On eleven thought-provoking tracks, Turner delivers an unforgettable album that resonates with authenticity, emotional depth, and unwavering strength. Following the biggest year of her career to date, in 2024 alone Turner received national features on Breakfast Television, eTalk, was a semi-finalist in SiriusXM’s Top of the Country competition, and reached over 500,000 streams of her catalogue. She also received her 27th Manitoba Country Music Award nomination and fourth career win, the Vince Fontaine Indigenous Song Award at the 2024 SOCAN Awards, and the Kevin Walters Memorial Songwriting Award from Manitoba Music. Turner performed at the 2024 iHeartRadio Canadian Country Music Awards pre-show presented by TD and was a featured artist at the National Music Centre and SiriusXM’s joint presentation of EQ Live. Along with receiving career-spanning national airplay from CBC Radio and support from NOW Country and NCI FM, Turner’s music frequently appears on the Indigenous Music Countdown. Additionally, she has received multiple award nominations from the Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards, Western Canadian Music Awards, and was awarded “Best Country Album” at the 2017 Indigenous Music Awards. Firmly centered between Americana and Country, Jade Turner’s “Breathe” is a musical encyclopedia of originality, creativity, and the transformation of experience into lessons. Written throughout a time of significant change and transformation, namely becoming a mother, navigating divorce, and the pain of dealing with a loved one in the throes of addiction, Turner’s era of evolution served as the launchpad for her most personal album to date. Deeply rooted in the tradition of storytelling, Turner uses songwriting as her main form of expression, allowing her to create an anthology of songs both experienced and imagined. Turner shares, “The album is a therapy session for me. I don’t normally talk about my vulnerabilities, but this is my way of talking about it - by singing it. ”On “Breathe”, Turner diversifies her sound by delving more deeply than ever before into the Americana and Roots genres, moving away from the boundaries of Country music and allowing her to express herself in ways she previously abstained from. “I wrote this album from a place of ‘what do I need to hear”? I’ve grown into myself, and this album represents my best work - it’s real and authentic to who I am”.
