About

The artist

Anne Murray is a retired Canadian singer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Raised in Springhill, she emerged nationally through CBC television before her recording career crossed country, pop, and adult contemporary formats. Snowbird made her the first Canadian female solo artist to earn a gold record in the United States, while A Little Good News made her the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. Her official biography records 33 studio albums, 15 compilations, more than 55 million albums sold, and more than one billion catalogue streams. Murray retired from regular performing after 2008, but Universal Music Canada has continued to steward archival and compilation projects. The 2025 album Here You Are assembled previously unreleased recordings and included new family and production contributions. That year, the Juno Awards presented Murray with its Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing a career that includes four Grammy Awards and a record 24 Juno Awards.
