While she may have been born and raised in the sweeping prairies of Calgary, Alberta, Justine Tyrell has rapidly made waves that stretch far beyond her west coast roots. Her alluring vocals, earnest and raw lyrics and a noticeable early millennium influence have made her an R&B songstress on the rise. Like many, she began honing her songwriting skills as a child, using songs to help articulate her feelings and experiences having penned her first song at seven years old. Now she sources inspiration from everything from past love, her Jamaican and Metis heritage, mental health and everything in between. Her debut EP ‘While You Were Sleeping’ independently released with support from FACTOR and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, went on to garner attention from some of Canada’s largest media platforms including CBC Radio, Exclaim! (Emerging Canadian Artists You Need to Hear), Virgin Radio, iHeartradio, Sirus XM Radio, George Strombolopolus and more. She also found her music widely supported by Spotify Canada, Amazon Music and Apple Music in the form of her inclusion to several editorial playlists across platforms.

With a unique sound that is all her own paired with a mesmerizing stage presence, Justine has performed extensively across North America over 400 times since 2018- most recently opening for one of her own influences- Grammy Award Winning Artist, Ashanti. Justine was also honored to take the stage for JUNOfest in Edmonton, AB as well as perform as a selected artist for the sold-out ‘Road to the JUNOs’ concert showcase – broadcasted on CBC.

Her last release, ‘Unpredictable’ is a sonic juxtaposition of playful throwback melodies, paired with catchy lyrics that caught the attention of listeners across the nation, making its radio debut across Canada on CBC Radio.

Justine is set to release her highly anticipated Sophomore EP in the Fall of 2024, with her first single off the project being released in June 2024. The project features production from Platinum, Slaight Emerging Songwriter Award winning producer, Eli Brown (‘Drew a Picasso, Drake) along with a string of new collaborators. This project will be supported and funded in part by Canada Council for the Arts. With her upcoming project, Justine hopes to encourage listeners to feel less alone in their own dark spaces, and enter a place where they can see parts of themselves reflected. Justine effortlessly unites purposeful lyrics and unforgettable melodies, and executes them on the backdrop of intentionally crafted soundscapes, that are designed to move through a listener’s moods with them.

Justine also holds the spot as the CFL’s Official Canadian National Anthem Singer for the Calgary Stampeders, opening each home game at McMahon Stadium for 30,000 people. Justine has only just begun in bringing her sound to audiences across the globe – and looks forward to an exciting road ahead!
