Bio
|
Abby Stewart is a 17 year old singer/songwriter from Kingston, Ontario. A true Canadian girl, she plays hockey and softball but feels most at home on the music stage achieving some pretty impressive success in her budding career.
In 2014, she opened for Hunter Hayes on his Tattoo Your Name Canadian Tour dates along with Dan + Shay, and has had the privilege of singing duets with Dean Brody, Dallas Smith and Aaron Pritchett. She has opened for many Canadian talents, most recently Brett Kissel in Toronto at the CNE and in Ottawa on his Ice, Snow and 30 Below Tour, as well as for Tebey, Michelle Wright, Emerson Drive, Tim Hicks and many others. She has had the great pleasure of performing at some of Canada’s biggest fairs and music festivals, including Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Havelock Country Jamboree, Ottawa Bluesfest and several more. Abby released her EP "Firsts", in 2015 which included her radio release “I’m Still Faster”, followed by her first music video, which now has close to 250,000 views on YouTube. In 2017 she collaborated with Invictus Entertainment, Big Star Records and Beamer Wigley and released a duet entitled "What If They're Wrong?" to national Canadian radio. It peaked at #87 on the Canadian BDS Chart and was either added or featured on 22 stations.

" I usually get nervous with inviting new artists up on stage but Abby is different from other new artists. Her talent and natural instincts are something she was born with. She nailed it and I found myself trying to keep up with her." - Dallas Smith

"I would definitely have Abby Stewart on any time, this kid is not just talented but wise beyond her years and its amazing how much she's already accomplished thus far without a major record label, I can only imagine with that support just how huge she can go."
Bill Welychka, Host and Producer of "The WS Daily" Kingston CTV Affiliate & former MuchMusic VJ |

"From the first time I heard Abby sing I immediately knew that this young lady was something special. Gifted with an incredible voice and an infectious personality, I have no doubt she has a very bright future ahead of her and we at Sound Check Entertainment are just thrilled to be coming along for the ride!"

“I had the pleasure of seeing Abby perform with Hunter Hayes and Dan + Shay in London in December 2014. She stole the show. When Woodstock’s Stage for Change was looking for performers, I remembered that show in London, so Abby was our first choice to headline. And, once again, she was the star."
