Katie Tupper, the Saskatoon-based neo-soul artist who was selected as one of three participants in the highly coveted JUNO Master Class, is announcing the details of her upcoming EP, Where To Find Me.

“I feel so lucky and excited to be sharing this collection of songs,” says Tupper. “Each song I write and work on brings me one step closer to what I want my music to sound like. This EP is the closest I’ve felt yet. I really feel like my influences shine through in these songs and they feel really personal. I use music to try to figure myself out and to think about my identity.

Just before writing these songs, I was bouncing around a couple of new cities, meeting a lot of new people, and introducing myself to a lot of them. I experienced a lot of changes during those introductions. Some of those feelings and experiences are captured here.

Three of the songs on the project were written alongside my good friend Connor Seidel who is one of my favourite producers and musicians of all time. I love the worlds he builds with his production. I’m so excited for people to listen and to hear a few of the things I was feeling when I wrote this collection of songs.”

Beneath the painted hues and infinite prairie skies of Saskatoon – a city in the heart of Canada – lies a soulful, creative spirit that proves there’s much more to the so-called ‘fly-over states’ than grassland and grain silos. Katie Tupper embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing, genre-defying artists at work within the often overlooked region. Tupper's 2022 debut EP, Towards The End, received glowing acclaim from tastemakers like Zane Lowe and indie music press like Ones To Watch, Exclaim, Under The Radar, and FLOOD Magazine. She appeared on eTalk and recorded a filmed television performance for CBC. Tupper is one of four participants selected to be part of the 2023 Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class.
