Dupuy began her career as a recording artist in 2014, releasing her debut single, Grandpa’s Truck, and her debut EP, Breakdown, in June of that year.[2] Both the single and EP attracted the attention of Country Music Television Canada (CMT), which named her its "Fresh Face Artist" for October 2014.[3] In 2015, Dupuy opened for Dallas Smith and Jess Moskaluke at the Music In The Fields festival.

Brave EP (2016 to 2019)

Brave, Dupuy's second EP, was released in October 2016.[4] Jeff Johnson and Jason Barry produced the EP.[5]

In 2018, Dupuy performed across Canada as part of her "Let The Good Times Roll" tour to promote Brave.[6] She made stops in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, including a performance at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival.[7] Supporting acts included Kris Barclay, Nicole Sumerlyn, and Aaron Pollock. Dupuy was also a featured opener for Cold Creek County during their 2018 tour.[8]

Upcoming Third EP (2020 to Present)

By 2019, Dupuy relocated to Nashville to collaborate with some of the top songwriters in country music on a full-time basis. In 2020, the singles Hesitate, Black and White, and Selfish were released ahead of Dupuy's third EP, which is expected to release in Fall 2022.
