OMBIIGIZI

OMBIIGIZI is a compelling and innovative collaboration between two powerhouse Indigenous musicians: Anishinaabe artists Zoon (Daniel Monkman) and Status/Non-Status (Adam Sturgeon). Originating from Canada, OMBIIGIZI (which translates to "s/he is noisy" in Anishinaabemowin) has quickly become a significant voice in the contemporary music scene, especially within realms that blend indie rock with deep cultural roots and experimental sounds. Their music serves as a bridge between generations and traditions, creating a soundscape that is both unique and deeply resonant with the stories and experiences of Indigenous communities.

OMBIIGIZI's releases, such as "Connecting," "Eagle Man / Changing Woman," "Back At Me," "Sewn Back Together," "Cherry Coke," and "Residential Military," showcase their dedication to exploring themes of identity, resilience, and the complexities of Indigenous life within a colonial context. Their work is not just musically innovative; it's imbued with activism, storytelling, and a profound connection to land and heritage. Through their engaging melodies and poignant lyrics, OMBIIGIZI invites listeners into a reflective space to consider narratives often sidelined within mainstream media and music. Their emergence as a duo is a testament to the power of collaboration and the ongoing importance of elevating Indigenous voices within the arts.
