Emerging Canadian singer-songwriter Graham Scott Fleming recently released his incredible new single Better Man via all streaming platforms.

Better Man was written solely by Graham and is a song born of personal heartbreak and resilience.

The new single is currently taking off in Canada with Stingray Radio featuring the song as a trending track and Rogers Radio selecting Better Man as “one to watch.”

The single debuted at No. 48 on the Mediabase Canadian Country chart and has been featured on Apple Music playlists from U.S. radio personalities Ty Bentli and Hunter Kelly.

“This song truly started out as a journal entry. I was going through a tough time. Was being a little self-destructive and just sinking into, as a line in the song says, self-pity. It took me some time to realize I was basing my happiness on other people and specifically the other person in this scenario,” said Graham.

“I wasn’t giving myself the love I needed to pull myself out of the situation, but also in general. I am genuinely a lover by trade but sometimes you give your love away so much that you don’t leave enough for yourself and so this song is just a reminder that I am enough, to love myself and to take these lessons and grow from them.”

Hailing from the small town of Elmvale, Graham has been honing his performance skills for the past nine years working as a theatre and film actor in Toronto and on Broadway in New York City.

After winning first place in a competition called North of Nashville star in 2011, Graham’s career as an independent artist was launched and from there he began writing his own music leading him to open for acts like Derrick Ruttan, High Valley, and Jason Blaine. He has also had the opportunity to collaborate and co-write with such names as Jason McCoy, Jane Bach, Phil Barton, J.T. Harding and many others.

In 2016, Graham released his first EP Young Wild & Free, and starred as Charlie Price in Mirvish’s production of Kinky Boots in Toronto for over two years. He was nominated for a Dora Award for Best Male Actor in a musical for his memorable performance in Kinky Boots, and later moved to NYC where he made his Broadway debut in Miss Saigon.

Missing his small-town roots, he moved back to Ontario and released his new single for the first time in four years entitled Déjà Vu in 2021.
