Feature of the Fortnight - Jason Kirkness


We're delighted to introduce our first Scarlet River PR 'Feature of the Fortnight, Jason Kirkness.




Jason Kirkness is a distinguished figure in the country music scene. Jason hails from the small Canadian farming community of Kleefeld, Manitoba, population 400, and his journey from these humble beginnings to becoming a celebrated artist is a testament to his talent and dedication. Kirkness' music is characterised by its heartfelt storytelling and relatable themes, resonating deeply with his growing fanbase. Over the years, Jason has built an impressive career, marked by numerous accolades and high-profile performances.

His live performances have seen him sharing the stage with country heavyweights such as Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, and Florida Georgia Line, showcasing his ability to captivate audiences alongside some of the biggest names in the genre. After enjoying a remarkable 2023 including remarkable accolades such as winner of the Manitoba Country Music Association ‘Male Artist Of The Year’ to a massive 18 weeks on the Top 40 Canadian Billboard Charts and Top 100 Music Row, Jason began 2024 with a bang with the infectious track ‘Right Where I Want You’. With ‘Right Where I Want You’, Jason continues to share pieces of his heart through music, inviting listeners to connect with music and lyrics.  His sincere approach to songwriting and his genuine love for the craft shine though in every note, reminding us of the power of music to unite and uplift.


"Reflecting on the romantic and personal challenges of my past and the obstacles I have overcome, I am always aware of how blessed I have been to continue to create some of the best music of my career." 



Jasons' latest single 'What's Wrong With Me' has been described as ...an extremely relatable track with a powerful hook and short run time.' At Scarlet River PR, we really think you'll enjoy this one. The track has already gained an incredible amount of traction, hitting #2 in the Hotdisc Top 40, achieving over 1 million Spotify streams and was the most played on the SiriusXM Top of the Country playlist (June 2024).



As he looks ahead to the release of his forthcoming album “What Got Me Here”, Jason Kirkness remains grateful for the journey that has brought him to this point. With a deep appreciation for the support of his fans and the opportunity to share his music with the world, he humbly invites listeners to join him on the next chapter of his musical adventure—a journey filled with honesty, humility, and an unwavering commitment to the craft he loves.


Every two weeks, we'll also ask our feature of the fortnight what tip they'd like to give to new, aspiring artists. This is what Jason had to say:


"The most important thing is to be true to yourself and enjoy every minute. Be creative, and be you!"
