Angie Morris launched Sirroma Entertainment to focus on artist development and career growth. Her first signing, Alberta’s Drew Gregory, went on to win multiple Country Music Alberta awards. Sirroma later welcomed Quinton Blair, an eight-time award-winning Manitoba artist, and emerging Indigenous talent Brad Sims. Angie also worked with Renegade Station, a now-retired Alberta group recognized with several provincial awards.

With a strong background in music and live events, Angie previously owned a venue that hosted intimate shows featuring artists such as Johnny Reid and Aaron Pritchett, and produced classic rock concerts with bands like Trooper and Prism.

She co-founded “Diamonds in the Rough,” a showcase during Canadian Country Music Week that gives rising artists exposure to industry professionals. Angie also served six years on the Country Music Alberta board, helping guide the organization’s growth.

Passionate about supporting Canadian talent, Angie continues to be a respected leader in the country music scene and one of the driving forces behind Alberta Country Collective.
