I’m Cam The Man — volunteer, show host, and producer of Tuesday-morning program The Cam the Man Show, which I’ve been hosting since May 2, 2023! In 2024, I won the Volunteer of the Year Award presented by the National Campus and Community Radio Association, and I’m also a 2025 BCLC Community Hero. Today, I’m highlighting four female independent artists who’ve all cracked the CIVL Top 30 chart list:
Annika Catharina – “Dishonest”
Two times Fraser Valley Music Award Country winner, twice in a row, “Dishonest” is my favourite, because it has a meaningful message. She made it as high as number three on The Top 30 chart list, Aug. 12, 2025, and number two on CIVL’s folk/roots/blues list on Dec. 16, 2025. She currently sits at number nine!
Savannah Jade – “He’s The One”
A rising country artist from Montreal, she’s been bringing some truly great music to the table. I first discovered her on a social media story with “More Like It,” but this is my favourite, from her 2025 debut self-titled EP, because it’s one of those songs about avoiding heartbreak. Savannah’s currently sits at number four.
Raquel Cole – “Let Alone my Heart”
Another B.C. country artist on the rise, who I found on social media with “Slow Motion.” My favourite song of hers is this one, from her EP Fire Child (2025), because it’s about protecting your heart when it comes to love. Raquel charted number one for eight straight weeks, now at number three!
A Toronto R&B artist that I first discovered through social media with her debut album. Its title track, “Day Dream,” is an amazing song with a 90’s/2000’s vibe. She’s charted as high as number two at points, and was sitting at number six on the CIVL Top 30 chart as of Feb. 17, 2026.
