WOW!! Vaughan Int. Music Festival has secured scorching hot Country Star Jade Hilton to perform at this year's event.

Toronto-based country singer-songwriter Jade Hilton is quickly becoming one of the most exciting rising voices in Canadian country music.

Blending classic country storytelling with a modern edge, Jade has been turning heads with releases like “Dive Bar” and her newest single “I Want a Cowboy,” recorded live off the floor in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with Grammy-winning engineer Craig Alvin, known for his work on Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour.

Over the past two years, Jade has performed on more than 200 stages across Canada, earned recognition from SiriusXM Canada, CTV Etalk, Global TV, and CityNews, and was named Songwriter of the Year at the Mississauga Music Awards. Her growing list of appearances includes Country Music Week, Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Departure Festival, and the Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase.

As a proud Chinese-Canadian artist, Jade is also helping shape a more diverse future for country music — bringing authenticity, storytelling, and fresh perspective to the genre.

We’re excited to welcome Jade Hilton to the Vaughan International Music Festival for Country Night.
