A breakthrough year for Parker Graye

Originally from Orillia and now based in Nashville, Parker Graye has quickly become one of the most exciting emerging voices in Canadian country music. Her 2024 debut album Lyin’ To Me has been a streaming success, featuring emotional fan-favourites like:

  • "Good At Gettin’ Gone" (#39 at Canadian country radio)
  • "One That Got Away"
  • "Lyin’ To Me" (2024 SiriusXM Top of the Country semi-finalist track)

Her latest single "Halfway" has already racked up over 1.4 million streams, and she’s surpassed 8.2 million organic streams across platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.

Parker’s been featured on high-profile playlists like Apple Music’s Canada’s Country and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country, and she’s performed at major events including Boots and Hearts and the CCMA Songwriters Series. She even made her Whiskey Jam debut in Nashville — also on May 9th.
