2013 | R&B/Soul Recording of the Year | Kreesha Turner | | The JUNO Awards

Over the past few years, Kreesha Turner has toured the world, sharing stages with the likes of Katy Perry, Shirley Bassey and Lady Gaga. Her debut album, Passion, garnered two number one dance hits on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart and the single, “Bounce With Me” attained numerous high-profile synch placements including television’s The Hills, Entourage and Desperate Housewives, major motion pictures and successful commercial campaigns for Nikon, Nike and Kit Kat. She’s been dubbed “the Canadian Rihanna” by some and compared to Duffy by others, but after the release of her latest album, Tropic Electric, you may agree that Kreesha Turner is more likely to defy comparison than invite it. Her latest creative endeavour is a striking musical blend that is Tropic Electric in both form and function – an album that fluidly combines R&B, electronica and pop that’s reminiscent of her 2008 debut, but adds elements of dancehall, reggae and worldbeat that pay homage to her Jamaican heritage. Kreesha is the featured vocalist on Wally Lopez’s new single/video, “Keep Running The Melody” and is the official female face and spokesperson for Marc Ecko’s clothing line/campaign.
