Tia Wood emerged from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta with a voice that bridges Indigenous tradition and modern pop soul. Her parents’ roles in powwow drumming groups and her upbringing steeped in Cree and Salish cultures shaped an artistic identity grounded in heritage and heart. With her debut singles “Dirt Roads,” “Losing Game,” and her EP 'Pretty Red Bird', she blends emotional lyricism, smooth R&B textures, and cultural resonance to create a sound uniquely her own.
On stage, Tia commands spaces with vulnerability and conviction. Her performances echo the ceremonial roots of her upbringing while embracing contemporary sensibility, inviting audiences into both celebration and introspection. From community powwows to Los Angeles stages, her presence carries weight — every note a pathway between worlds, every audience a moment of shared story.
Now signed to Sony Music, Tia Wood is accelerating forward with new releases like 'Never Come Down' and growing acclaim, including a Juno nomination for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year. As her fanbase expands and her artistry deepens, she stands as a boundary-pushing voice for Indigenous youth and a rising force in the future of pop and soul.
