(Toronto, ON – October 17, 2025) – Today, rising singer-songwriter Tia Wood releases “Sage My Soul,” a stirring, emotional pop jam that cements her place as one of Canada’s brightest, most compelling artists. Listen here. Watch the video here.
The breadth of Tia’s songwriting and artistry is on full display on this track, with a crunchy guitar and full choir delivering a lush soundscape. Tia weaves together beautiful imagery, slinky hooks, and impeccable production to create indelible and moving pop music. This track, co-written with Justin Lucas (Khalid), Tabi, and Dan Elkayam, and produced by Justin Lucas, sets a new sonic standard for the rising star.
“Sage My Soul” is also a deeply reflective and honest expression of what it means to be human: to do well sometimes and poorly sometimes, and long for human connection. She sings stirringly about how it feels to be alive: “Growing, unfolding / Stripping down my layers / Take me as I am / Despite my bad behaviour.” Tia delivers a soulful banger and study in vulnerability and beauty.
“This song means so much to me. It’s a reflection of where I am at my highest and lowest,” said Tia. “Ultimately, writing this song and performing this song were hopeful acts. The tradition of saging has so much power and meaning in my community and I love using that as a metaphor in this song.”
2025 has been a meaningful, whirlwind year for Tia, including capturing her first JUNO Award nomination (for ‘Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year’), and performing at the JUNO Award Broadcast with Snotty Nose Rez Kids. Last weekend, Tia shared the stage with Shawn Mendes at the Vancouver stop of his On the Road Again tour, performing “Youth” to a rapturous, sold-out crowd. Stay tuned for more from one of Canada’s brightest, most exciting new talents.

ABOUT TIA
Born in Saddle Lake Cree Nation in central Alberta, a community of about 6,000 people in Treaty 6 territory, Tia’s musical journey began at home. Her first experiences on stage were with her family, singing traditional music at powwows, schools, and community events. As a teenager, Tia was drawn to a wide range of artists, from musical legends like Etta James and Amy Winehouse to contemporary stars such as Remi Wolf, Dominick Fike, Leon Bridges, Jessie Reyez, and SZA. In her 20s, she gained a massive social media following as a creator, with many of her videos, which introduced Indigenous sounds to mainstream audiences, going viral and earning widespread acclaim.
Those influences, combined with the music of her Indigenous roots, laid the foundation for her debut EP, Pretty Red Bird, a project rich in style, genre, and spirit, which was released in 2024. Tia’s smooth, stunning vocals thread together a vibrant tapestry of modern music, strengthened by her Indigenous heritage and lush R&B and pop production. The songs on Pretty Red Bird capture the breadth and diversity of the young adult experience, blending classic instrumentation like piano and guitar with contemporary beats and hooks that define modern R&B and pop.
For Tia, songwriting has been a deeply personal and therapeutic journey—one that has allowed her to explore identity, self-expression, and emotional depth. “It’s allowed me to open up and really dig into feelings,” she says. In 2025, Tia was nominated for her first JUNO award for ‘Contemporary Indigenous Artist of Group of the Year,” and performed at the broadcast alongside Snotty Nose Rez Kids.
