Canadian Pioneers

This collection honours the trailblazers—the artists who dared to do something different and, in many cases, were the first to do it in Canadian music. From genre-defining innovators to cultural groundbreakers, Canadian Pioneers celebrates those who opened doors, broke rules, and carved out new paths with originality, courage, and vision. Their contributions helped shape the sound of Canada—and inspired generations to come.
