Tia Wood to be Honoured With the Trailblazer Award at Billboard Canada Women In Music 2026

The Cree and Salish R&B/pop singer has been making strides on the charts and on big stages while proudly uplifting her Indigenous identity and culture. She will accept the honour during the star-studded gala at Rebel in Toronto on Nov. 24.

Tia Wood has broken down barriers for Indigenous representation in the music industry. She will be celebrated with the Trailblazer Award at Billboard Canada Women In Music 2026 on Nov. 24 at Rebel in Toronto. Tickets are available here.

Hailing from Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, the R&B/pop singer has been making major strides. After making history in 2023, as the first Indigenous woman signed to Sony Music Entertainment, she delivered a star-making performance at the inaugural Billboard Canada Women In Music event in 2024, and she's gone on to reach even bigger stages since.
