Elaine Bomberry is one of the founding members of creating the Indigenous category of the JUNOs and a fellow pioneer in Indigenous radio. I am proud to be among many Indigenous women who are determined to bring our peoples to the mainstage!
Does your sense of belonging in the Indigenous community inform your work as an artist — is there a primary motivator of serving the community, being a beacon of the community, or is your art separate but with intersections to community? My determination in being a part of the entertainment industry and passion for our community go hand-in-hand. Far too long our stories have not been shared; I am passionate about taking space where Indigenous peoples are not represented.
Take a look around: for the last 20 years, industry mixers and networking events in the Canadian music industry have been predominately Caucasian and male-dominated. I am fearless and want people to take notice that we are severely underrepresented in the industry. As an Indigenous woman, my culture, my community, and work in the entertainment industry is intertwined.
I want people to know our stories, songs, and history through the arts and I want to create platforms and space, encouraging managers, record labels, festivals, funders, and others to embrace and support us too — put us on as headliners, make us the Justin Bieber, Drake, and Celine Dion! The musical universe appears to be capable of infinite expansion. The music industry would benefit in making funding opportunities more accessible. Not everyone has a record label, manager, grant writers, and a machine.
Indigenous artists are learning the business at baby steps to compete with other artists. Being that Indigenous peoples are in recovery from centuries of lack of opportunities in this music industry, making space for our people and decolonizing those processes for us would open the door for artists in a way that would bring talents to the masses.
I encourage record labels and managers to seek out and build relationships with the thriving Indigenous music industry, support artists by giving a platform for us to be embraced by your audiences.
