Indigenous music artists from across Canada are being called on to apply for the CBC Indigenous Music Residency by Aug. 29.

The program is an initiative between the SOCAN Foundation and CBC that will provide invaluable mentorship to six music creators from First Nation, Métis and Inuit communities.

The residency will be held in Toronto from Oct. 14 to Nov. 8.

“The biggest thing is that this is supposed to benefit, it’s customized around the people that are applying,” said Nic Meloney, CBC production executive for the residency. “So, if they feel it within themselves that they’ve got the confidence to be able to deliver, the confidence and the creativity to be able to step into a realm like that and they’ve got the time, if there’s something within them, this little tiny spark that says ‘Oh I really want to do this’, then they have to apply because it’s such a rare opportunity.”
