the other incredible independent artists. This is my tenth year of releasing music
and it's been a lot of ups and downs but getting to do what I love everyday makes
it all worth it. Special thanks to Brent and Luke for putting this event together, as
well as my manager Howie Rosen for always believing in me."

Canada and around the world make a massive impact in the US. Baker Grace blew
us away with her performance of “Butterflies” and she was received with huge
applause. Congratulations Baker. We are so proud of you!
Also a special shout-out to memyself&vi (who also performed at the official
after-party), and LOSTBOYJAY. These are two other fantastic Canadian artists
who also won awards. We’re very excited for you both as well!
It was a proud day for our Ghost Rocket team. We are excited for what’s to come
next. We would like to give special thanks to independent music champion Brent
