ISKWÉ

Named one of the Top 10 Artists to Watch by CBC Music, ISKWÉ (which means ‘woman’ in her native language) is fostering an unmistakable sound that weaves together her Cree/Dené roots with poignant politically charged lyrics, dark soulful R&B rhythms, electronic flourishes, and trip hop breakbeats.

In a world where we are constantly defining the sum of our lives through the filter of another’s gaze, genuinely unchained artists like Winnipeg-bred Hamilton-based singer-songwriter ISKWÉ (pronounced iss-kway) are becoming a rare breed.

ISKWÉ has received a 2018 Juno nomination for Indigenous Music Album of the Year and she won the 2017 West Coast Music Award for Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year.
