Such a fun night celebrating Universal Music Group‘s blossoming talent at IGNITE 2026, which took place at Universal Music Canada’s headquarters in Toronto. Guests got the chance to win prizes, including merchandise and music from the UMG family of artists using a claw machine, plus also we rang in a Pop Girl Summer, picking vinyls, split by specific subgenre of “Girl Pop“.
Taking the stage were:
•English Singer-Songwriter Holly Humberstone (amazing new album Cruel World out now!)
•Nashville Singer-Songwriter Sydney Rose (more here)
•Iraqi-Canadian Singer-Songwriter Ebril (more here)
•14-year-old Singer-Songwriter Iris Copperman from Nashville (more here)
Some highlights from the night from this talented group of Singer-Songwriters!
So floored by this group! This really is Humberstone‘s moment, playing an incredible set hot off her appearance at Coachella last month. Such a polished collection of songs, which she performs so beautifully.
