Drawing inspiration from her Inuit roots and popular artists she grew up listening to, like Beatrice Deer and Hilary Duff, Igloolik, Nunavut born artist, Angela Amarualik combines Inuit melodies and throat-singing with contemporary elements.
The now Montreal-based singer-songwriter got her start in music playing the ukulele and writing Inuktitut songs in her bedroom closest. Like many who grew up in small Inuit communities, she was surrounded by a lot of social issues, but maintained a good attitude to be an example to others. Today, she offers musical workshops to Inuit youth.
