BP Before They Get Big Tour Ft. Jade Hilton

-- More About The Artist --

Fast-rising country singer-songwriter Jade Hilton is making waves with her new single “I Want a Cowboy.” 

Written by Hilton during a holiday songwriting retreat at her parents’ farm in Norfolk County, Ontario, she later brought the track south to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where it was recorded live off the floor. The session was engineered by Craig Alvin, known for his work on Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves. “I Want a Cowboy” blends Hilton’s classic country influences with a modern edge and offers an early glimpse into the music she is preparing for her upcoming album. 

Last year, Hilton’s breakout single “Dive Bar” earned her national attention, including from SiriusXM Canada, Global TV’s The Morning Show, CityNews and CTV’s Etalk, who called Hilton “the hottest new talent in country music.” Since then, Hilton has delivered standout performances at Country Music Week as part of the CCMA Awards weekend, at Folk Music Week as part of Folk Music Canada Awards Weekend, was named a finalist for the 2025 Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase, and made her debut at Cavendish Beach Music Festival and Departure Festival. In 2026, she will be on the main stage at Ottawa Bluesfest as direct support for Jessie Murph and Cody Johnson, and also at Misty City Music Festival.  

Her own artistic clarity didn’t come easily. While working on music at home in Toronto, most of her collaborators leaned towards hip-hop and R&B, so Hilton started travelling to smaller towns and eventually Nashville to find her creative community. Landing showcases at the CCMA’s Country Music Week and the CMAOntario Awards weekend, as well as a spot on the famed Blue Jays Sessions, helped her refine her musical identity and reignite her confidence. Over the past two years, she has performed on over 200 stages across Canada and was named Songwriter of the Year at the Mississauga Music Awards. 

As a Chinese-Canadian artist in country music, Hilton is proud to be part of a new wave of diverse voices helping to shape the future of the genre. Her story is rooted in the legacy of her grandparents who immigrated to Canada and opened the beloved west-end Toronto Chinese restaurant Mr. Pongs, which welcomed guests for five decades. In a serendipitous full-circle moment, Hilton recorded her first album at a studio – housed in the very same building where her family once ran the restaurant.
