SHAWNEE KISH
Shawnee Kish is the winner of CBC’s 2020 Searchlight talent competition and one of the winners of the Allan Slaight Juno Master Class program for artist development in 2021. Kish has been celebrated as one of North America’s Top Gender Bending Artists (MTV), named by Billboard as an Artist You Need To Know, and continuously uses her music to empower. An outspoken advocate for her Indigenous and LGBTQ2+ communities, she is a proud Two Spirit Mohawk who has shared the stage with some of the world’s biggest names—Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Alicia Keys, to name a few.
Kish released her debut self-titled album in 2021 and was nominated for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year at the 2022 JUNO Awards. She recently signed with Amelia Recordings, a boutique Canadian label, and has several songs ready to release in 2022, including “Mr. Tie” a no-holds-barred retort to every man who ever tried to make Kish into what she’s not, summed up in the lyric: “you don’t like my attitude / I’m good, boy, I don’t need you to.” She also
continues her work with the We Matter Campaign and Kids Help Phone in hopes of empowering youth, providing strength, and hope through music.
