Nix Ironstone doesn’t just step into a new era — she ignites it. Formerly known as Nicole Rayy, she spent over a decade carving out her place in the Canadian country scene, earning a loyal following and becoming a strong voice for women in music. Now, with a new name and a darker, bolder sound that’s been waiting beneath the surface, she’s stepping fully into who she was always meant to be. Blending indie/alternative rock and goth-pop with a fierce feminine edge, Nix delivers music that’s raw, cinematic, and unapologetically powerful — think Evanescence meets The Pretty Reckless. Her debut single, “Dead To Me,” released in October 2025, sets the tone. Co-written with award-winning artist Malory and co-produced with JUNO-winning producer Hill Kourkoutis, the track is a blistering anthem about loyalty, heartbreak, and standing up for the people you love. Beyond the sound, the transformation is a statement. As Nicole Rayy, she championed women through HarmoniaFest and the Harmonia Songwriter Series, earned ten CMAOntario nominations, over 5 million streams, and performed internationally. As Nix Ironstone, she’s taking everything she’s built and turning it up — louder, darker, and more fearless than ever.
