Calgary-based country singer-songwriter Alex Hughes is thrilled to release her new single “Until This Fire Dies”. Produced by Dan Swinimer (JoJo Mason and Madeline Merlo) and written by Alex Hughes and Aaron Pollock, “Until This Fire Dies” is a passionate country tune that transports listeners to a place where emotions are red-hot and burn brighter than ever. Alex’s sultry vocals and lyrics lead to an unforgettable mid-tempo masterpiece.
Hailing from Alberta, Alex grew up in the middle of Canada’s country music scene. Her signature style is a combination of pop and classic sounds, with a blend of femininity and fierceness that captivates her audience. Alex’s dynamic and commanding vocals has resulted in over 200,000 collective career streams and performances at Nashville North at the Calgary Stampede and other festivals across Canada.
Her debut single “Strong As You” garnered attraction from fans, which led the song to being placed in the tenth spot on the most downloaded indies on Canadian Country Radio in its first week. Since then, Alex has placed #12 in the esteemed “Project WILD” competition hosted by WILD 95.3 (2022) and was nominated for 2022 Horizon Female Artist of the Year from Country Music Alberta.
