Katie Tupper’s smoky alto voice wraps together soul, indie and alternative R&B with just a touch of folky twang. Born in Saskatoon, Greyhound will bring the prairie roots of Tupper’s past to meet the blended and expanded worldview of her present.

On her upcoming debut album Greyhound, Tupper shares, “Greyhounds that race on tracks are given these parameters and rabbit decoys to chase that are unreachable. If the front/fastest dog gets close to the decoy it just speeds up to make them run faster. The dogs think they are chasing something reachable but by design it will always be slightly ahead of them. It made me think about my relationships and how I act in the world. I am often both the Greyhound and the decoy — chasing something unreachable and being the thing that cannot be caught.”

All before releasing a debut record, Tupper has amassed over 22 million streams worldwide and received a JUNO Award nomination for Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year. Ahead of making an official debut in the US, she has sold out shows in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, with more dates to come. Her last single “Tennessee Heat” continues to make its way closer to a million streams on Spotify alone in just over a month.

Greyhound was produced by Tupper’s touring partners and frequent collaborators Justice Der (Rachel Bobbitt, Dylan Sinclair) and Felix Fox (BADBADNOTGOOD). The album is a confessional; one of lessons learned and things we leave behind.

Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Tupper's two previous EPs of heartland soul–Towards The End (2022), and Where To Find Me (2023)–have amassed 22 million streams worldwide and a JUNO Award nomination. She’s had a meteoric rise on social media with over 35 million views across short form platforms and now she’s heading into 2026 with her debut album, Greyhound, in hand. This album is a homecoming, a return to her roots with years of new experience. It embraces the expanse of the endless sky and the light of the golden fields with an undercurrent of the sidewalks and skylines she’s spent years calling home.

The album feels like having a drink with your best friend, pointing fingers, admitting guilt, dissecting feelings and situations from the heart. It’s nuanced and honest, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s Tupper metaphorically riding out into the sunset on horseback–a sonic ode to the Saskatchewan plains.
