Jacklyn Wills
THIS IS ME
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, grace, 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 the country. Her breakout track, “Hate That I Can’t Hate You,” produced by CMA Ontario Producer of the Year Adam Newcomb, landed on multiple Spotify editorial playlists, earned international radio play, and marked her arrival as an artist to watch.
She followed it with “Up,” a nostalgic anthem to small-town nights that resonated widely, reaching #2 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown and surpassing a quarter million streams.
Her next release, “Tell Me When You’re Sober,” showcased a more vulnerable side, striking a chord with listeners and further cementing her strength as a storyteller unafraid to lean into raw, honest emotion.
Summer 2025 marked a turning point. Wills took the stage at some of Ontario’s top festivals—including Music In The Fields, Sauble Beach Party, and Hayloft Music Festival—sharing the bill with country heavyweights like Brett Kissel, MacKenzie Porter, The Reklaws, Josh Ross, Owen Riegling, Tyler Braden, and Drake Milligan. Whether performing for thousands at a festival or in intimate settings like Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Café, she consistently leaves a lasting impression.
Her October 2025 release, “Quarter Life Crisis,” introduced a fresh, evolving sound—blending alt-country grit with introspective, coming-of-age themes—further signaling her artistic growth.
Now, Wills continues that momentum with her latest single, “Save The Date,” a heartfelt track about not getting invited to your childhood best friend’s wedding. The release quickly found its way onto multiple Amazon Music editorial playlists and racked up over a quarter of a million streams in just two weeks, marking it as her fastest-rising song to date.
With over half a million combined streams since her debut, growing industry recognition, and new songwriting cuts to her name, Jacklyn Wills is stepping confidently into her next chapter. Heading into 2026, she’s not just rising—she’s making her mark.
