(Los Angeles, California) – Acclaimed Canadian country artist George Canyon is a two-time Juno Award winner, seven-time CCMA Award winner, Platinum-selling recording artist, and the creator of twelve studio albums. He gained international recognition in 2004 as the runner-up on Season 2 of Nashville Star—the only Canadian to reach the competition’s final stages. That exposure helped launch his major-label recording career.
Throughout his career, Canyon has collaborated with Richard Marx, Kenny Rogers, and many other music industry professionals. At MPI Talent, he will be represented by Paul O’Neil, head of the agency’s recently established Canadian offices across Alberta, and Jordan Tubiolo, Vice President of Global Touring.
“I am excited to continue to work with my longtime friend, Paul O’Neil, and will miss working with my brother Jim and the Invictus Team. We have had an incredible 20 plus years together in the industry. I wish Jim and his family all the best with his new venture (which is so cool). I look forward to beginning a new relationship with the MPI Team and we are excited for what the future holds.” – George Canyon
Before joining MPI, George Canyon was represented for more than 20 years by Jim Cressman and Invictus Entertainment Group for both management and agency services. Under their guidance, Canyon toured extensively across Canada.
“It has been an honor to work with George for more than two decades. He cares deeply about his fans, and I’m proud to have helped strengthen that connection through countless tours. I am now taking on a new professional endeavor, which I’ll announce soon, and I’m excited to see George continue to thrive with his new team.” – Jim Cressman, Invictus Entertainment Group
Canyon is preparing for an extensive Fall 2027 tour, with dates planned across Canada, the United States, and overseas.
