The Beaches Claim Top Honors as Billboard Canada's Women of the Year 2025

The Beaches Named Billboard Canada's Women of the Year 2025 In a momentous occasion for Canadian music, The Beaches were crowned Billboard Canada's Women of the Year 2025. The Toronto-based indie rock band, comprising Kylie Miller, Eliza Enman McDaniel, Jordan Miller, and Leandra Earl, received the prestigious award on August 29, 2025. According to an interview with Billboard, Charlotte Cardin, last year's winner of the inaugural Woman of the Year award, expressed her admiration for The Beaches' achievements. "They've been killing it for a long time," she said. "They're really, really, really awesome girls." Cardin praised their dedication and talent, stating, "I just wanted to congratulate you and tell you that I love you guys and I think your music is so amazing." The Beaches were celebrating the release of their brand-new album, No Hard Feelings, on the same day they received the news. The band members gathered together via video call with Cardin and iHeartRadio host Shannon Burns to hear the announcement. In a statement, The Beaches expressed their gratitude for the recognition. "We're so humbled to be named Billboard Canada's Women of the Year 2025," said Kylie Miller in an interview. "It's an incredible honor to be part of this community of talented women who are pushing boundaries and inspiring others with their music." The Beaches' rise to fame is a testament to their hard work and perseverance. Formed in 2012, the band has been making waves in the Canadian music scene with their unique sound and energetic live performances. The award comes at a time when women's representation in the music industry is gaining attention. According to a report by the International Music Managers Forum (IMMF), women make up only 12% of songwriters and producers in the global music market. However, The Beaches' success story serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring female musicians. Their dedication to their craft and commitment to empowering other women in the industry have earned them a loyal following and critical acclaim. As The Beaches continue to soar to new heights, they remain committed to using their platform to amplify the voices of women in music. "We're not just a band; we're a movement," said Eliza Enman McDaniel in an interview with Billboard. "We want to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and never give up on their passions." The Beaches' No Hard Feelings album is now available for streaming, and fans can catch them live at various venues across Canada.
