Alli Jean Walker[2] is a Canadian country music singer from Summerside, Prince Edward Island.[3] She has released two albums: The Basement Sessions: What I've Learned So Far in 2019 and Growing Up in 2023.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Walker grew up in Prince Edward Island. After learning the piano and drums, she learned how to play the bagpipes, and attended several international bagpiping competitions. Walker turned down a scholarship to the University of Arkansas, as she was inspired by Taylor Swift to pursue a career in country music.[4] She attended the University of Prince Edward Island for one year as a vocal major, but elected to drop out as the program was focused on classical training.[4] In 2009, Walker moved to Toronto, Ontario to pursue a career in country music and modelling.[3][5] She met her husband at a Rascal Flatts concert soon after moving to Toronto.[5]

Career

[edit | edit source]

After ten years of developing her music, Walker released her debut album The Basement Sessions: What I've Learned So Far on September 13, 2019.[5][6] She recorded the songs in the basement of her home with her husband.[7][8]

Shortly thereafter, Walker and her husband moved to Kelowna, British Columbia.[9] She subsequently released her second album Growing Up on March 10, 2023.[10][11] The album included the single "Red Wine or Whiskey", and several previously released songs including "Country Music", "Maybe I'm Still Drunk", and a female point-of-view version of "Sand in My Boots".[12][13]

Later that year, Walker released the song "The Whiskey's Gone".[14] The song garnered significant attention on social media, and Walker subsequently moved with her husband to Nashville, Tennessee, at the end of the year, and released the song "Hung Up". [15][16] In March 2024, Walker signed her first record deal with RECORDS Nashville and released the song "I Like Big Trucks".[17][18][19][20] In April 2024, Walker received a significant amount of media attention after she performed her song "Creek" at a Nashville Predators playoff hockey game and drank beer from the mouth of a dead catfish.[21][22][23] A video of the incident was later shown on Hockey Night in Canada as well as an ESPN national broadcast in the United States.[24] Walker received a nomination for Female Artist of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Country Music Awards.[25]

In 2025, Walker released the single "First Time Living", which featured American country artist Gretchen Wilson.[26] In September 2025, Walker signed a record deal with 604 Records, exclusively for releases in Canada and Australia.[27]
