From Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay, Nunavut), internationally celebrated artist Tanya Tagaq is an improvisational singer, avant-garde composer and bestselling author. A member of the Order of Canada, Polaris Music Prize and JUNO Award winner and recipient of multiple honorary doctorates, Tagaq is an original disruptor, a world-changing figure at the forefront of seismic social, political and environmental change. On her new album Saputjiji, the singular force of Tagaq is more commanding, innovative and pointed than ever, aiming straight at the jugular of the military-industrial-capitalist-tech powers of the times. 

Recent credits, projects and accolades for the award winning composer/author/performer include Tagaq’s soundtrack contribution to Mission Impossible, and film/tv appearances including CBC/Netflix’s North of North and HBO’s True Detective. Tagaq’s first children’s book, It Bears Repeating, recently received a Governor General’s Literary Award nomination and was selected for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. A vocal supporter of #InuitMeToo, Tagaq uses her platforms for justice, solidarity and to encourage discussion of difficult topics.
