Feel Empowered With the Help of Karli June

Rooted in her agricultural upbringing, Canada’s rising star Karli June shines in her new single “Still Make Cowgirls”. Co-written with award-winning songwriter and fellow Canadian Deric Ruttan (Blake Shelton, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley), the song instantly fell into place. Karli telling us, “This is a celebration of what it means to be a cowgirl. Strong, passionate, and connected to your roots.” “Still Make Cowgirls” was released on April 26th and you can listen to it here.  

Karli’s introduction to country music was through listening to the legendary voices of Patsy Cline and Terri Clark while working on her family’s dairy farm. Not coming from a musical family, she believes it was God’s plan for her to know at an early age that she wanted to pursue music. She started singing in church and before she knew it was writing songs of her own. Karli describes her sound as pop country with a touch of slide guitar. A blend of her influences Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson, Karli writes big anthems with a common theme of empowerment. Currently, she’s writing and recording her sophomore EP set for release in early 2025. Her aim is to “connect with people who have similar upbringings and empower girls and women to… feel proud of where they are and who they are.” 

Recently, Karli’s music has caught the eye and ears of the CMA Ontario Awards. This year she’s nominated for four awards including Songwriter(s) of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year. The nominations are the culmination of the success of  Karli’s breakthrough single “Feel Like Home” featuring Ryan Langdon. The song achieved international success, reaching #12 on Australia's CountryTown National Airplay charts, marking Karli's highest-charting track yet. Domestically, "Feel Like Home" secured the #1 Most Added position at Canadian Country radio, peaked at #30 on the Mediabase National Country radio charts, and garnered recognition as iHeartRadio's "Future Star", Rogers Media's "One to Watch", and Stingray's "Trending Track". With the success of the track and her authentic sound and relatable lyrics, Karli has now surpassed over 2.2 million streams and video views of her songs.

Ready to share her music with the world, Karli can be found playing shows around Western Canada this summer. Don’t miss a moment of Karli’s career by following her at @itskarlijune and on her website https://www.karlijune.com.
