Edmonton-based country music artist Alee took home the Female Artist of the Year award.
She said it’s an incredible honour to receive the award.
“As an artist you work so hard putting your heart and soul into things and you don’t always know if it’s going to be loved by people and I have received nothing but love from the industry and fans,” she said.
Alee also won Album of the Year award for Bad Habit Sunday.
Dan Davidson was named Male Artist of the Year, Fan’s Choice, Single and Song of the Year for Barn Burner.
The Dungarees received three awards: Group/Duo, Rising Star and Video of the Year for Anywhere With You.
