Small-town roots, big-time momentum—Jacklyn Wills is proving she’s far more than just another name in country music. Hailing from Dresden, Ontario, she’s carving out her own lane with grit, honesty, and a voice that lingers long after the last note fades.
Since releasing her debut single in 2024, Wills has been on a steady climb, capturing ears—and hearts—across Canada and beyond. Her breakout track, “Hate That I Can’t Hate You,” produced by 2-time CMA Ontario Producer of the Year Adam Newcomb, landed on multiple Spotify editorial playlists, received international radio play, and was featured on SiriusXM, marking her arrival as an artist to watch.
She followed it with “Up,” a nostalgic anthem to small-town nights that reached #2 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown, surpassed a quarter million streams, and continued her run of SiriusXM airplay. “Tell Me When You’re Sober” showcased a more vulnerable side, while “Quarter Life Crisis” introduced a fresh, evolving sound that blended alt-country grit with introspective, coming-of-age themes.
Her 2026 release, “Save The Date,” quickly became her fastest-rising song to date, landing on multiple Amazon Music editorial playlists and surpassing a quarter million streams in just two weeks. Now, Wills is back with her latest single, “Curiosity Killed The Cowboy,” continuing to push her sound forward while staying rooted in the sharp storytelling and undeniable personality that have become her signature.
The last two summers have marked a major chapter in Wills’ rise. In 2025, she took the stage at some of Ontario’s standout events, including Lucknow’s Music In The Fields, Sauble Beach Party, and Hayloft Music Festival, sharing the bill with country heavyweights such as Brett Kissel, MacKenzie Porter, The Reklaws, Josh Ross, Owen Riegling, Tyler Braden, and Drake Milligan. She also brought her music to intimate stages, including Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Café.
In 2026, that momentum continued with Wills landing on the bill for the Vaughan International Music Festival, as well as the Hayloft Music Festival Kick-off Party, Rock The Lot, and the Tweed Stampede.
Today, Wills continues to split her time between Ontario and Nashville, developing her craft as both an artist and songwriter. She writes for herself while also putting songs in the hands of other artists, all while continuing to bring her music to stages across Canada and beyond.
With nearly 1 million combined streams, a growing catalogue, and two summers of major live milestones behind her, Wills is entering the next chapter of her career with undeniable momentum. From small-town Ontario to Nashville writing rooms and festival stages, Jacklyn Wills is building a career that is entirely her own—and she’s only getting started.
