Alex Hughes, a pop-country rising star from Calgary, Alberta, is quickly making her mark with a unique blend of heartfelt storytelling and infectious pop hooks. Known for her vibrant energy and captivating live performances, she brings a fresh, genre-bending perspective to Canadian country music. With South Asian and Filipino roots, Hughes grew up immersed in a wide range of musical influences—from Bollywood and Hawaiian melodies to hip-hop and R&B—all of which shape her dynamic, contemporary sound. She has shared stages with major artists like Brothers Osborne, Ashley McBryde, Josh Ross, and Babyface, performing at iconic venues such as The House of Blues (Sunset Strip), Nashville’s Tootsie’s, and Calgary Stampede’s Nashville North.

With over 350,000 global catalogue streams and two 2026 Country Music Alberta Award nominations, Hughes is establishing herself as one of Canada’s most exciting emerging country artists. Her debut EP, Take Me Home, arriving May 29, promises to showcase her storytelling prowess and genre-blending style, solidifying her reputation as a bold, dynamic voice in modern country music. Audiences can expect a compelling mix of energy, emotion, and melodic hooks that mark Hughes as a talent to watch.

“Take Me Home feels like driving down a back road with someone you’re so into it almost scares you. It’s about wanting to know every little thing that makes them who they are, where they were raised, who raised them, and all the stories that shaped them. Getting to share a piece of my heart through this song means everything to me, and I hope people feel that when they hear ‘Take Me Home.’”

Calgary country rising star Alex Hughes returns with “Take Me Home,” the title track from her upcoming debut EP, arriving May 29 via Phase Entertainment Group. Warm and heartfelt, the song pairs Hughes’ radiant vocals with vivid storytelling, capturing the longing and curiosity that comes with truly wanting to know someone—their past, their roots, and the experiences that shaped them. Co-written with Lydia Sutherland, Aaron Pollock, and Forrest Finn, and produced by Dan Swinimer, the track blends pop sensibilities with country storytelling, setting the tone for a deeply personal and immersive EP.

The release also marks Hughes’ official announcement of Take Me Home, her debut EP and biggest statement yet. Building on over 350,000 global catalogue streams, major live appearances, and growing acclaim as one of Canada’s most compelling emerging country voices, Hughes continues to establish herself as a dynamic artist with a gift for connecting emotionally with her audience. With evocative imagery, heartfelt emotion, and her signature genre-blending energy, Take Me Home positions Hughes as a rising force in modern country music.
