A Trip Hop / Eclectic soul singer and Canadian girl at heart, hailing from Winnipeg, IsKwé has been surrounded by creative inspiration her whole life. Growing up in a family of artists, her innate passion for all things music was nurtured from a young age:



"I laugh when I think back and remember my dad coming into my room when I was 12 (my little sister was 6 at the time) and I was BUMPING some Eazy-E! All he did was ask me to put on my headphones." IsKwé jokes, reminiscing on the artistic and eclectic household she grew up in. Coming from a mixed family of Irish and Cree/Dene (Aboriginal) and pulls from both of her cultures for a sound that is as unique as she is.
