Jauregui is an artist, singer, songwriter, creative and humanitarian. The 22-year-old has embarked on the next chapter of her career with the release of her debut solo song "Expectations" via Columbia Records. The track was written by Jauregui and provides fans the first glimpse into new music from the award-winning artist, which will continue to roll out into 2019.
Jauregui spent most of 2018 in the studio with writers/producers like Khaled Rohaim, Illangelo, Kid Harpoon, King Henry, Ilsey Juber and Alex Hope. True to her artistic ethos, this next phase of Jauregui's career finds her fully expressing her creativity in every aspect of her art, from writing songs to conceptualizing and editing videos. In January, Jauregui was included as a 2019 member of Forbes' prestigious "30 Under 30" list. She has been featured on the cover of magazines such as NYLON, Ladygunn, tmrw, Coup de Main and King Kong Magazine.
Outside of the studio, Jauregui has spent much of her life developing her talents beyond being a vocalist, from engaging in political activism and using her wide-ranging social platform as a mouthpiece to share her views. With more than 12 million followers across social media, Jauregui understands the power of her platform and her voice as a young member of society. She is politically outspoken and actively involved in protests. As she gears up for the release of her debut solo album, she will continue her activism, imploring fans to be vocal about their stances, fight for human rights and get out and vote to make a difference.
Once a Vancouver Canucks draft pick, now a critically acclaimed country music star, Brownlee is marking his return after a brief hiatus and new team behind him. With the signature sound that fans know and love, but with a fresh new flair, Brownlee released his debut single "Dear Drunk Me" in summer of 2018 - radiating a suave maturity with personal evolution, growth and improvement. The track was written by Gordie Sampson, an acclaimed songwriter for artists such as Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton. "Dear Drunk Me" quickly topped charts hitting number 2 on the Canadian Country music charts - his first ever Top 5 single.
On January 4, Brownlee released his second single "Forever's Gotta Start Somewhere" and is currently in the process of finishing his major label debut album. The singer-songwriter's catalog of albums contains a plethora of fan-favorites and radio hits like "Love Me Or Leave Me," and gold-certified "I Hate You For It" - proving the steady stream of love for Brownlee's sound and words. Brownlee holds numerous accolades including a highly coveted JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year, and consecutive Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA®) Award™ nominations for Male Artist of the Year (2012, 2013, 2017, 2018), Fan's Choice Award (2017, 2018), Album of the Year (2016) amongst many more.
