January 31, 2025

TORONTO — Sheguiandah First Nation musician Graeme Jonez highlighted his experiences on the road as a motorcyclist with the release of his new single, Ride or Die. His hit single, The Flood!, reached #1 on the Indigenous Music Countdown in March 2024 and was the Merilainen Music Award winner for Single of the Year.

“I wrote Ride or Die as a bit of an homage to the motorcycle lifestyle,” Jonez says. “I’ve been a motorcycle rider myself for 25 years and I really wanted to write something that had this sort of gritty, raw feeling.”

Jonez says the phrase ride or die has “a bit of a cheesy meaning” for most people, but he wanted to make it something more serious and deep and personal.
