Canadian musician Jerry Sereda is a decorated Country artist who can’t help but capture music fans everywhere he goes. With his gripping and energetic live performances, Jerry celebrates his Indigenous heritage by weaving personal stories and experiences into his delightfully catchy songs. Beginning his music career as the winner of a local music contest who earned the opportunity to record his first single, the 2010 Indigenous Music Awards Best New Artist has firmly established his roots in the Canadian Country music scene.
Drawing comparisons to the vocal and live performance style of Country legends Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw, Jerry has shared the stage with prominent Country artists including four-time JUNO award winner Johnny Reid and Canadian Country Music Association award recipient Jason Blaine. With four successful albums in his outstanding discography, Jerry has received numerous accolades throughout his flourishing career, including a Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award for “Best Country Album”, a North American Indigenous Image Award for “Best Music Video”, and three Manitoba Country Music Award nominations. The talented singer has also received recognition from the Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards and Western Canadian Music Awards, and has topped the Indigenous Music Countdown charts multiple times. Showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, Jerry has just announced the release of his brand new upbeat and instantly catchy single. “Backroad Therapy”, a song about getting away and enjoying a drive along the backroads of the prairies, was just released on Friday, August 12, 2022.
Holding a Master’s degree in Education, the singer considers himself a lifelong learner who strives to continue evolving as both a musician and an educator. As a proud member of the Indigenous community, Jerry has maintained his interest and support in sharing his vast musical knowledge with local and remote Indigenous artists who are hoping to launch their own careers. On top of inspiring the younger generation to pursue their dreams, Jerry is gearing up to release his fifth album later this year. The first single off of the project, “Backroad Therapy”, is written and produced by SOCAN award winning producer and songwriter Troy Kokol along with Jerry himself.
