Susan Aglukark is Canada’s first Inuk artist to win a Juno (4), a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for lifetime artistic achievement, and she is an officer of the Order of Canada. Susan holds several Honourary Doctorate degrees and has held command performances.
Her journey as a singer-songwriter began in the early 1990s when she began her writing and recording career. In Susan’s early reflections was the discovery of the platform as learning, sharing and healing, this inspired her major label debut album This Child, released in January 1995. She has since written and recorded 10 albums, founded the Arctic Rose Foundation, authored two children’s books and has a personal memoir in the works.
Susan is embarking on her 30th Anniversary of This Child Tour with special guest Angela Amarualik.
Her writing of This Child brought her to a personal call to action, get on the platform and speak up, learn, heal, share. This has been her work for these 30 years.
And opening the night for Susan is Angela Amarualik.
Angela Amarualik was born and raised in Igloolik, Nunavut. Starting with the ukulele, Angela began writing Inuktitut songs in her bedroom closet. Her musical style evolved into a mix between Inuit melodies, throat-singing, and the music of her childhood heroes. In 2018, Angela released her self-titled debut album which won one Indigenous Music Awards and was nominated for three.
In October 2022, Angela released her second album, Uvannik. The song, Summa Tamaani, from Uvannik, climbed the charts on the Indigenous Music Countdown. Angela was also a winner at the Arctic Music Awards, taking home the award for Indigenous Artist/Group of the Year. Her dream is to share her culture, inspire other Inuit, and create music that people around the world can enjoy.
