Aysanabee, whose solemn and soaring vocals earned him his place as the first signee to Ishkode Records, the first Indigenous and women-owned labels in the country, was nominated for a 2023 Juno for his debut album, Watin, released on Nov. 4, 2022.

His hit single Nomads reached #1 on Alternative Radio, making him the first Indigenous artist ever to reach #1 on any media base chart.

In a whirlwind year, Aysanabee performed well over 100 shows across the country and around the world, but made his mark performing at the 2023 Juno Awards national broadcast featuring Grammy-nominated drum group Northern Cree, news agencies called it ‘the most moving performance’ of this year’s award ceremony.

Aysanabee is actively touring and playing festivals across Canada and Europe in 2023, and is set to release a follow-up EP in the fall.
