This Year’s Emerging Artists.👇
Sabrina
Born and raised in the Yukon, Sabrina is a 17-year-old artist with a background in classical training and a passion for music. Previously a would-be pianist, Sabrina explored many different genres, but returned to Hip-Hop every time. Feeling a soulful connection to this style of music, she felt it was the perfect place for her to blend her training and creativity into genuine expression.
For Sabina, music was always made from the heart, so "playing by the book" was not her specialty, much to her classical teacher's dismay. Exploring Hip-Hop music production, Sabrina felt she had finally found a place to let her voice be heard - utilizing the creative and outspoken freedom of this genre to explore the potential of storytelling through music.
S!ck Nasty
Ethan Ernest Bradford Gage Skookum (a.k.a S!ck Nasty) is a seventeen-year-old rapper from Carmacks, Yukon territory, and is an LSCFN First Nation. S!ck Nasty attended an inspiring Hip-hop workshop in February of 2019 which led him to start getting serious with his music. He has never owned a microphone so he started using the built-in mic on his school laptop to record his songs onto Garageband. In the last nine months, he has released twenty-two tracks on Youtube and has several more in the works
Cr@$y-t
Trent Blackjack also known as CR@$Y-T is an eighteen-year-old first nation artist from Carmacks, Yukon-Territory. CR@$Y-T started making music with his brother when he was eleven-years-old, but a few years ago he took a break from rapping to try making beats. Following his passion for making melodic RnB songs, CR@$Y-T has been singing and creating beats in an attempt to find his own Hip-hop Style.
Jaykobi
Jakob Gatensby aka Jaykobi Wan Anobi is a fourteen-year-old artist from Whitehorse, Yukon. Jaykobi has started recording music in an attempt to create a career.
