With the soul of a poet, the heart of a rock icon, and the vision of an auteur, Canadian singer-songwriter Goldie Boutilier has mastered the art of turning mythmaking into self-salvation. Raised on the sounds of Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton, Goldie’s music blends noir-pop, Americana, and torch-song balladry into cinematic explorations of tragic romance, glamour, and survival.
After signing her first record deal with Interscope at 21, Goldie navigated a turbulent journey through the music industry before reclaiming her independence and voice. She re-emerged with a string of acclaimed EPs - Cowboy Gangster Politician (2022), Emerald Year (2023), and The Actress (2024) - which drew on her Cape Breton roots and her experiences as a young ingénue in Hollywood. In just two years, her music has earned over 70 million streams, praise from Elton John and Zane Lowe, festival slots at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Bonnaroo, and a North American tour with Orville Peck.
Her upcoming debut album, Goldie Boutilier Presents… Goldie Montana, introduces her alter ego: a fiercely glamorous outlaw-provocateur inspired by the anti-heroes of Scarface and Casino. Written as both confession and reclamation, the record chronicles her battles for control of her career, resilience through exploitation and sacrifice, and the transformation of shame into power. A fearless fusion of grit and glamour, Goldie Montana finds Goldie fully living her truth - and inviting others to discover their own.
As she steps into her most powerful era yet, Goldie hopes to help others transform their own struggle into triumph. “One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that the sooner you let go of shame and get to the truth, the better off you’ll be - your whole life will get better, even if it’s hard at first,” she says. “I think we all need to be encouraged to break out of our shame spirals and be truly ourselves.” And with Goldie Montana, she aims to ignite an unstoppable boldness in every listener: “This album is for all the people who’ve ever felt counted out or undervalued. I want to show everyone that you can turn that negativity into your secret weapon. You can take that time to rebuild yourself - and then come back better and stronger, and ready to take on the whole fucking world.”
