PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR
Shauit
LIVE MUSICAL
Nutshimam
Nominated twice as Indigenous Artist of the Year at the prestigious ADISQ awards gala, Shauit sings about the plurality of the cultural mosaic of the First Nations. Most of the time in Innu, but sometimes in French, Shauit brings a music that is as festive and unifying, introspective and hypnotizing. Originally from Maliotenam in northeastern Quebec, singer-songwriter Shauit sings songs strongly inspired by his Innu roots and traditional music. He fuses several popular genres (folk, country, rock, reggae, etc.) and offers honest, committed songs filled with emotions and personal experiences. Notable recipient of several major awards, including Best Indigenous Album at the Indigenous Music Awards in 2018, best singer-songwriter at the Folk Music Awards, and many national and international showcases. Shauit’s influence and solicitations for his music continue to grow, as well as personally appearing in feature films and television series. Over the last few years, Shauit has played throughout Canada, in the United States and even in Europe, where he has conquered a loyal audience with his innovative style mixed with the culture of his roots. He has participated, at the Folk Alliance, APAP, at the Louisiana International Festival, at the Shibuya Festival Showcases (Japan and Zandari Festa (Korea)), in Chile, Morocco, as well as Nantes, France, to name a few. Shauit is a proud representative of Indigenous and aboriginal culture around the world.
