ABOUT GRAHAM TRUDE
Graham Trude is a Canadian Country musician, performer and songwriter with a characteristically big voice and an even bigger heart. Dubbed “The Singing Soldier” by Canadian country music legend Bruce Good (of The Good Brothers), Graham is a unique songwriter and performer who brings an unforgettable presence to the stage, regardless of whether he is performing in a packed theatre or an intimate coffee shop.
Graham is a former police officer with the Town of Orangeville and an Afghanistan Veteran with the Armoured Corps in Edmonton, Alberta. Graham was diagnosed with complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in 2019. At the lowest point in his life, he turned to writing music to find solace and eventually found the strength to take his future into his own hands. Graham departed from law enforcement in 2020 to pursue his love and career in song writing and performing.
His most recent release, a stunning and sombre acoustic reworking of his track ‘PTSD’ was released on Remembrance Day, 2022, and received international feedback and acclaim from fans, first responders, and military veterans all over the world.
“The main goal with my music is to help people. I believe life is about people helping people and giving back”.
“I am beyond excited to take this next step in my career and it is an incredible honour to work with James MacLean and the good people at AMG”.
Graham is managed by The Stereo Dynamite Music Company, Toronto, Canada.
