Susan Aglukark

S U S A N A G L U K A R K is one of Canada's most unique artists and a

leading voice in Canadian music. She blends the Inuktitut and English languages

with contemporary pop music arrangements to tell the stories of her people, the

Inuit of Arctic Canada. The emotional depth and honesty of her lyrics; her pure,

clear voice and themes of hope, spirit and encouragement have captivated and

inspired listeners from all walks of life.



Susans genuine concern for others combined with her political & social awareness lead many to view her as a role model. She is also rapidly becoming known as an uplifting motivational speaker, able to reach both youth and adult audiences alike.



Susan has held command performances for HRH Queen Elizabeth (twice),

Canadian Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Brian Mulroney and the President

of France, Jacques Chirac. She has performed for Nelson Mandela and Governor

General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson as well as several other dignitaries. Equally

important to her are the many, many villages across Canada and the Arctic.



Most recently, Susan was invited into the Order Canada and was presented her

Officer of the Order of Canada award in September of 2005 for her contribution

both musically and as a workshop facilitator and mentor in the aboriginal

community.



Awards include: Juno Awards (3) and several Juno nominations presented by

C.A.R.A.S. (Canadian Association of Recording Arts & Sciences); the first-ever

Aboriginal Achievement Award in Arts & Entertainment, and the Canadian Country

Music Associations (CCMA) Vista Rising Star Award, along with several other

CCMA nominations. Susan's albums Arctic Rose, Christmas, This Child, Unsung

Heroes and Big Feeling have sold over 400,000 copies in Canada to date.



Susan has her sights set on touring her new album, Blood Red Earth, and

the continuation of her activist work. Susan says she never strays far from

her roots or the people of Arctic Canada where she grew up; her ultimate

message, to learn to be yourself and believe in that person reaches much further

and touches all people everywhere.
