2023 proved to be Paige’s debut onto the Canadian Country music scene with her heartfelt single, “Gone Ain’t Really Gone”, followed by the pleading ballad, “The Worst Thing”. “The Worst Thing” earned Paige a slot in regular rotation on SiriusXM Radio’s Top Of The Country. Paige showcased at the CMAOntario Awards weekend, headlined Yonge and Dundas Square, and was a finalist in Lucknow’s Music in the Fields Emerging Artist Showdown.

The EP has already surpassed 600,000 catalog streams.

 

Paige released her New Motor Records label debut single “Whatcha Gonna Do” in June of 2025 and the single has over 400,000 global streams.  As well, a video for “Whatcha Gonna Do” was released in September of 2025.
