Susan Aglukark is one of Canada’s most unique and most honored artists. An Inuk from Arviat, Nunavut, Susan has been walking in a tension between two worlds, a defining note in her remarkable career.

She was a rare and exotic presence in the mainstream music world—an Inuk woman, a modern woman, a strong woman with something important to say is sometimes very rare in the entertainment industry. Susan embodied pure, graceful honesty and strength. As her songs climbed the charts, her stories and her candor about the struggles of the Inuit and Aboriginal communities, and her bravery as she opened up about her own anger and struggle, won her an audience beyond that of most pop artists.

Aglukark’s musical success is even more interesting when you realize she didn’t start her career until she was 24. With no modern musical orthodoxy to draw on Aglukark was free to respond to the sounds and styles that touched or motivated or inspired her. The (real) appeal of her music is that in an era where the most popular music is often less relevant than style or mood, her lyrics are where she lives. “The songs are driven by the stories. It’s all about the stories.”

Susan Aglukark est parmi les artistes les plus uniques et reconnues du Canada. Une inuk d’Arviat, au Nunavut, Susan marche, depuis le début d’une carrière remarquable, sur une corde raide entre deux mondes.

Dès ses débuts, elle fut une présence unique et exotique sur la scène musicale canadienne - une femme inuk forte et moderne, avec un message à livrer. Susan personnifie la grâce et la sincérité, avec une force bien à elle. Son succès est d’autant plus impressionnant quand on apprend qu’elle a débuté sa carrière à 24 ans. Pour Susan, les paroles sont d’abord et avant tout ce qui compte.
