Jordan St. Cyr left the fortieth annual GMA Covenant Awards with a lot more than he arrived with, walking away with five awards and a surreal experience.
The evening opened with him winning Male Vocalist of the Year, where St. Cyr had been nominated against four other artists. The win set the tone for the rest of the evening for the Niverville native.
“It was surreal,” St. Cyr says. “At the beginning of the evening I was hoping to win one, but even then, you never know what to expect. When they called my name, it was so weird. Once I had that win, I thought maybe I wanted to win a few more.”
With over 40 awards handed out that night, St. Cyr was determined to make the most of the evening and enjoy basking in the company of a roomful of some of Canada’s most talented musicians and artists.
“It’s long,” he says of the ceremony. “So it really gave me an opportunity to hang out with my peers in the industry that I don’t get to see all the time… radio hosts, DJs, music directors… people that I don’t normally get to connect with.”
Nominated for eight awards, St. Cyr won five throughout the evening, including Song of the Year (“In My Lifetime”) with Ben Calhoun, Recorded Song of the Year (“In My Lifetime”), New Artist of the Year, and Pop Song of The Year (“In My Lifetime”), in addition to the Male Vocalist of the Year nod.
Grateful for every opportunity to play and create music, St. Cyr is looking forward to a busy year ahead, including the upcoming release of a new single to Canadian and U.S. radio, writing songs in Nashville for a new album, and heading out on the road for a few tour dates and music festivals.
