Falling through ice when he was a teenager in Northern Ontario almost killed him - and his dream of making music. But Indigenous singer-songwriter Aysanabee escaped and vowed to make it in the industry. His debut album - Watin - was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and earned numerous awards nominations, including a Juno, for Contemporary Indigenous Group or Artist of the Year. Aysanabee is in this province as part of the Writers at Woody Point festival.
