Canadian singer-songwriter and recently nominated “Best New Artist” for the Mississauga Music Awards, Bree Taylor is a force to be reckoned with. Her highly anticipated single release “Cry” hit all streaming platforms on January 31st and has fans feeling some type of way with this emotional ballad. “I really connected with this song because it sends the message that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. That showing your vulnerabilities isn’t a weakness – it’s a strength. Breaking down and crying sometimes is healthy and it is a human reaction that is normal.”
Her recent single “Drive” the music video, filmed in California, gained over 70k views in only a few weeks of its release and got massive fan engagement. Bree continues to make her mark in the Canadian music scene with her transition from pop to country music.
Her heart was firmly rooted in country music despite her recent success of her first EP “Unbreakable”, recorded in Los Angeles followed by a 12-city Canada wide summer tour promoting the record. Combining the sounds of pop and country was perfect for this singer/songwriter who is also an engaging storyteller, “I feel like right now, the right place for me and my music is in country.” With a career and brand built on authenticity, honesty and resilience, Bree’s creative ambitions have no limitations. No matter what life throws at her, Bree is and always will be a fighter and she will keep writing songs, keep singing and will remain truly unapologetically Bree!

Live Show Ritual:
I like to do a good vocal warm up before any show and I love to drink hot water and peppermint oil to open up my vocal cords and sinuses. I also like to meditate on the day of a show and be alone to get myself centred and focused on the show until I get to the venue. I don’t like to have any stress or negativity around me so I make sure I am in a good headspace and focused on the show.
Favourite local artist:
My new friends The Command Sisters
