At the 2018 Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Kris was named the winner of the Emerging Artist Showcase, an honour that means even more to Kris since he was voted by fans as the wildcard entry into the contest.
This spring, Kris releases his debut single through Warner Music Canada, Loved You Like That.
On top of having new music on the horizon and a summer full of performances lined up, 2019 also sees Kris earn his first Country Music Association of Ontario (CMAO) nomination in the Rising Star category.
