βIn every songwriter's repertoire, there are select words that weigh heavier on the tongue than most. Stories that take more heart than mind to recount. For Canadian newcomer Jade Hilton, it didn't take long before she found them, tucked away inside a quiet melody.β - EARMILK
About
Born to Chinese and English parents in Toronto, Canada, Jade Hilton is making her mark through her emotive voice and storyteller songwriting. The singer/songwriter fuses earthy country melodies over pop/folk soundscapes. After graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on a full athletic scholarship, she moved back home to Toronto and began releasing music featuring her soulful country voice. Growing up listening to Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, as well as her time spent living in the midwestern U.S.A. really influenced her decision to create country music.
Jade released her first album in 2022 to much success. Her songs were featured on a number of notable Spotify editorial playlists such as New Music Nashville, Live Country, and Fresh Finds Country and also on Sirius XM radio. Jade has performed live at the 2024 CCMA Bar Crawl, 2024 CMAO awards, Blue Jays Sessions, at the National Bank Open in Toronto as the official anthem singer and live performer, 2024 NXNE Festival, and just recently wrapped up a sold out Southern-Ontario tour.
