LATEST RELEASE

Ty Wilson is an award winning alt-country troubadour from Peterborough, ON (northeast of Toronto) who has found his stride in seamlessly and effortlessly blending traditional and modern country music styles. Influenced by the likes of Chris Stapleton, Steve Earle and Eric Church, Wilson’s self-coined “Red Dirt North” mixes modern twang with southern rock n’ roll creating music that feels both timeless and distinctly his own. Along with Wilson’s soulful voice and authentic storytelling built on tough truths and hard earned emotion, Ty creates music capturing the ears and hearts of audiences across North America.
His debut 8- song LP, “Northern Heart, Southern Soul” a 100% crowdfunded record, was released in January 2026 and has brought in over 2 million streams, while both lead singles, “Chasin’ Headlights” and “Born To Lose,” have landed in the Top 10 on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country charts. Ty’s music has been added to more than 30 editorial playlists across Spotify (Fresh Finds, and Renegades), Amazon Music (Breakthrough Country and Just North of Nashville), and Apple Music (Canada’s Country and New in Country). He has played 100s of shows and has shared the stage with country heavy hitters Muscadine Bloodline, Kameron Marlowe, Tim Hicks, Steven Lee Olsen, Tim & The Glory Boys, and many more.
Wilson’s momentum is backed by a growing list of industry accolades. In 2024, Ty won Male Vocalist of the Year at the Texas Country Music Association Awards, and was also awarded the Reader’s Choice Diamond Award for Best Local Band/Musician in his hometown of Peterborough. In 2026, he was named a Spotify Fresh Finds Forward artist, while his song “Alabama Way” took 2nd place in both the Country and Sync categories in the International Unsigned Only Music Competiion. Following his SOLD OUT album release show, Wilson continues to build a reputation as an artist whose drive, genuineness, and undeniable stage presence are creating an unstoppable momentum.
Whether it’s a boot stompin’, guitar-driven anthem or an emotional ballad, “Northern Heart, Southern Soul” marks a defining chapter in Wilson’s career, building something that feels both familiar and new, while proving that authentic songwriting and a unique sound can always cut through the noise.
