Country artist/songwriter Jess Moskaluke opens up about her journey from small-town Saskatchewan to the global stage, sharing the inspiration behind her bold new single “I Ain’t Country”.

Jess reflects on growing up surrounded by music, becoming the first female artist since Shania Twain to earn Canadian Platinum status with “Cheap Wine and Cigarettes”, and the milestones of winning a JUNO and multiple CCMA Awards. She also talks about balancing her introverted nature with performing, and why giving back through causes like MS Canada and the Jess Moskaluke Youth Award holds deep meaning for her.

Jess also shares personal sides fans don’t always see — from life with her rescue dogs Nala and Blu to her love of popcorn, outdoor adventures, and downtime at home. She dives into the stories behind songs like “Mapdot” and The Demos, her growth as a songwriter, and what fans can expect on her Life For Me Tour this fall and beyond.
