Empowering First Nations Music Futures (CONCEPT/IN-DEVELOPMENT)

This vital initiative centers on a transformative, no-cost, five-day intensive residency designed to dismantle systemic barriers for emerging First Nations musicians. Participants will gain holistic management, promotion, and culturally safe pathways through:

• Dedicated studio time & project development (EP/Album production, skill development)

• Expert mentorship & networking

• Professional demo recording

• Fairly compensated public performance opportunities

Beyond the workshop, we envision a future virtual hub, extending this critical support nationwide. This project is a crucial step towards equitable industry participation, ensuring First Nations voices are amplified, culturally protected, and positioned for sustainable, impactful careers.

Proposed: March 2026 - March 2027
