Saskatchewan Indigenous Music Association announces awards show to recognize artists
Parenteau is looking to be widely inclusive with nominations and helping Indigenous artists.
“When it comes to music, you will be able to qualify for this and be part of this. The more we work together, the stronger we will become.”Tyson explained that for up-and-coming artists, having resume-building experiences like nominations and awards is really important. “I know a lot of Saskatchewan people that are just making great art, Indigenous and non-Indigenous,” said Tyson. “That being said, I think we should all have equal opportunities.”“It’s just a matter of getting the word out there,” said Parenteau.
“I would love to see some young person come forward at 12 years old, and by the time they hit 20, everybody in Canada knows them. When they look back and accept that first big award in Canada and they are asked where they got their start, I want them to say it was the Saskatchewan Indigenous Music Association,” said Parenteau. “That is why I want to do this.”
