# Juno Award/Breakthrough Artist of the Year

Der Juno Award für den Breakthrough Artist of the Year ist ein seit 1974 vergebener Preis der Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Er richtet sich an den besten Newcomer aus Kanada. Er richtet sich an Solokünstler, sein Pendant für Musikgruppen ist der Award für die Breakthrough Group of the Year
Von 1974 bis 1993 wurde der Award in zwei Kategorien vergeben: für weibliche und männliche Künstler als Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year und Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year. 1994 wurden die beiden Awards zum Best New Solo Artist zusammengelegt. 2003 wurde daraus der New Artist of the Year und 2013 erhielt er seinen jetzigen Titel.
