“Katie Tupper's voice always greets listeners like the most tender dream, one you want to stay in forever. The dulcet tones of "Need Nothing" are a balm and Tupper is at her best when she's leaning into sweetness. "I'll be here for what it's worth," she states, affirming her love.” - CBC Music
“Saskatchewan's Katie Tupper makes the kind of soul-stained folk that feels instantly familiar, but it's her complex writing — vividly capturing the sights and smells of her home province, like the "fields of butter" on "How Can I Get Your Love?" — that makes her debut EP so anticipated, further calcifying the singer/songwriter's distinct and subtle touch.“ Exclaim!
"[Katie Tupper] strikes a narrow balance between the vivid romanticism of soul and the hushed confessions of a folk singer/songwriter." - Under The Radar Magazine
"Katie Tupper pairs hard truths with soft sounds." - FLOOD Magazine

MORE ABOUT KATIE TUPPER
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, an indie R&B musician, embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing music at work within the often overlooked region. Tupper's two EPs of heartland soul - 2022's Towards The End, and 2023's Where To Find Me - have amassed 22 million streams world wide, a JUNO Award nomination (2024 Traditional R&B-Soul Recording of the Year), the praise of tastemakers like Zane Lowe, a CBC Q interview with Tom Power, and international radio spins from BBC 6Music (UK), FIP (France), and CBC (Canada). In 2025, she’s been selected as Apple Canada’s “Up Next Artist” and Spotify Canada’s RADAR Artist of the Month and she’s even had Elton John spin her songs on his Apple Music Radio Show, Rocket Man. She’s now heading into the release of her debut full-length album, out in 2026 via Arts & Crafts.
