Aasiva

Colleen Nakashuk, known by her stage name Aasiva, is a Canadian musician from Nunavut who has been captivating audiences with her unique blend of Inuit folk-pop infused with traditional throat singing. Born in 1993 in Pangnirtung, Aasiva was introduced to the violin at age five and has nurtured a deep connection with music ever since. She's recognized for singing in her native tongue, Inuktitut, which adds a rich cultural texture to her sound.

Aasiva's self-titled debut album released in 2018 showcases her songwriting skills, where she gracefully combines the art of throat singing with enchanting melodies on her ukulele. Through her music, Aasiva reflects on her Inuit heritage, the beauty of her homeland, and contemporary issues facing Indigenous communities. Her songs like "Niriunniq," "Ungalirakki," and "Piqatiikka" not only offer melodious experiences but also serve as a medium for storytelling and the preservation of her culture. The light-hearted single "I Love Music" aptly captures her passion for the art form, making Aasiva a compelling artist who bridges tradition with modernity.
