Sticky Jazz Interview Madisyn Whajne
Groundbreaking Canadian female vocalist Whajne's debut album is an invigorating and bittersweet offering, demonstrating resilience and survival in the face of pain and heartbreak, blending elements of such artists as Alvvays, Snail Mail, Rilo Kiley and Real Estate. Here we find straight driving guitars and semi-gritty punk rock drums, topped off with vocals radiating a sunny surfer pop vibe... a little sultry with some attitude. Whajne (pronounced Wayne) - a member of the Whitefish River First Nation (Manitoulin District of Ontario) - has spent most of her life searching: for her purpose, for her family, for herself. Taken from her parents as a toddler during the infamous Sixties Scoop, in which the Canadian government forcibly rehoused tens of thousands of native children, Whajne grew up without knowing her real name, to say nothing of her heritage. Her life has been shaped by a hunger for truth and understanding, a yearning that lies at the core of her artistry. #canadiansingers #madisynwhajne #firstamericanmusicians Website http://www.madisynwhajne.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/madisynwhajne Bandcamp https://madisynwhajne.bandcamp.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/misswhajne Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/madisynwhajne Twitter https://twitter.com/whajne YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdMe_395EavNwqWj-8M9T2g Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/177Cg6LjXfuhEAkyGAMxD4 Apple Music https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/madisyn-whajne/id1527208883
