Popular singer-songwriter will be awarded a doctor laws degree from Prince George university
Smithers singer-songwriter Alex Cuba will be awarded with an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Northern B.C. for his extensive contributions to the North’s arts scene.
“It has a very deep meaning, because this is the area where people see me, where I have friends and it feels that it will have a direct effect on the music community here,” he said. “I’ve been consciously contributing to the health of arts and culture up here … I think this makes it real to people from here,” he said.
Proud of his Cuban roots and his adopted country, Cuba said his music is a “fusion between a mango seed and an apple seed — it makes a tree that grows in Cuba and Canada.”
