Canadian singer-songwriter Walters Fall has been nominated for EP of the Year at the 2026 Josie Music Awards, one of the largest independent music award organizations celebrating independent artists from around the world.
The nomination recognizes Walters Fall’s latest EP, a deeply personal collection of songs exploring addiction, healing, love, grief, and resilience through raw storytelling and stripped-back performances. Known for writing from lived experience, Walters Fall has built a growing audience by embracing authenticity over perfection.
“This nomination means a great deal to me,” says Walters Fall. “These songs came from some of the hardest chapters of my life. To have them recognized is a reminder that telling the truth still matters.”
The recognition adds to an already impressive run of industry acknowledgements, including multiple nominations and finalist placements at international independent music awards. Beyond music, Walters Fall founded Guitars for Kids Oxford, an initiative that collects donated musical instruments and places them in the hands of youth who might not otherwise have the opportunity to play.
Blending alternative folk, Americana, and acoustic rock, Walters Fall continues to connect with listeners through emotionally honest songwriting and powerful storytelling. His music has earned thousands of streams across major platforms while establishing him as a distinctive voice in Canada’s independent music scene.
The 2026 Josie Music Awards ceremony will bring together independent artists from across North America to celebrate excellence in songwriting, performance, production, and recording.
