Chxrry: Toronto’s Next Big Thing Is Stepping Into Her “Main Character” Era

With a bold sound, striking visuals, and a presence that demands attention, Chxrry is proving she’s more than just another name in the wave of emerging talent. Her performance on Under the Radar last month was the catalyst for a well-deserved buzz, and for many—myself included—it was the first real glimpse at what she brings to the table. Spoiler alert: she delivers.

In Poppin Out (Mistakes), she brushes off heartbreak without missing a beat. There’s no crying, no looking back—just nights out with the girls, fresh energy, and an open heart ready for what’s next. It’s a carefree celebration of self-worth and moving on with style.

Then there's Just Like Me, where Chxrry flips the script on relationship double standards. With cool confidence, she matches her man's energy bar for bar—rocking a white tee, hyping him up, but keeping her eyes open. She knows the game, and she’s not afraid to play it. If he can sell her a dream, she can sell one right back.

Her latest track, “Main Character,” takes that confidence to a whole new level. It's bold, braggadocious, and undeniably catchy. “I got this whole club takin' pics, sending me bottles. I must be that bitch,” she declares—and she means it. From having the ex-girlfriend as a fan to commanding the room, it’s a full-blown anthem for the girls. Whether you’re out with your crew or in the club making money moves, Main Character is an anthem.

Though still early in her career, Chxrry already shows the polish and vision of a seasoned artist. Her aesthetic—sleek but gritty, confident but unguarded—feels authentic in a space that often prizes formula over originality. She doesn’t seem interested in fitting a mold, and that’s exactly why she’s resonating with a growing audience.
