Métis fiddler Brianna Lizotte’s JUNO nomination highlights the power of cultural storytelling, community, and the growing recognition of Indigenous artists in Canada
Métis fiddler and cultural advocate Brianna Lizotte has been nominated for a prestigious JUNO Award in the Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year category, marking a powerful moment not only in her musical journey but also in the broader celebration of Métis artistry and identity across Canada.
Raised in Sylvan Lake and now living in Sherwood Park, Brianna’s connection to fiddle music began at just ten years old, deeply inspired by her family’s legacy of music, kitchen parties, and cultural storytelling. What began as a childhood dream—sparked by home videos of her grandfather and great-uncles playing traditional tunes—has since evolved into a vibrant career rooted in cultural reclamation and creative innovation.
