George Canyon rose to becoming one of Canada’s hottest Country Music stars in the early 2000’s and has won countless accolades and awards, including Juno Awards, CCMA Awards, and ECMA Awards to name a few. He has been inducted into the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame, recorded 12 albums, and was recently presented a certified Platinum Award for his debut album ‘One Good Friend’. With country hits like Just Like You, I Believe in Angels, Drinkin’ Thinkin’, Daughters of the Sun, I Got This, I Want You To Live, Slow Dance and many, many more, he is also highly regarded humanitarian, strong supporter of the military, and, most important, a proud father and devoted husband.

The Nova Scotia native started his career as an international music icon. The appearance on Nashville Star landed him a record contract and his breakout album, 2004’s “One Good Friend” climbed the charts and became certified Gold. The album was also honoured with numerous awards including the Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year, Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) for Male Artist of the Year and Single of the Year for “My Name”.

His second album, 2006’s Somebody Wrote Love was proof that George was no TV star fluke, becoming certified gold and garnering yet another score of awards, among them a Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year and CCMA Male Artist of the Year, and Single of the Year for the title track of the album. Proving that good things come in threes, George’s 2007 Classics, a self-produced and recorded album that pays tribute to all of the country hits that have inspired him, became an instant hit, earning another gold record. To this day his rendition of “Ring of Fire” is a constant fan favourite during live performances.

Over the years George has also had the privilege of collaborating with fellow talents, a prime example being when he joined forces with multi-platinum pop and rock icon Richard Marx to produce two albums, 2008’s What I Do and 2011’s Better Be Home Soon, the latter of which featured “When Love Is All You Got”, written for George by Marx and the legendary Kenny Rogers. What I Do was an enormous success, going Certified Gold during the first three weeks of release.

In 2016 George a new collaboration was formed with famed BC-based music producer Jeff Johnson for I Got This, from which the title track and the sultry single “Daughters of the Sun” reached top 10 status on the Nielsen BDS and Mediabase country radio charts.
