Biography

Born and raised in the Cree community of Saddle Lake, Alberta, Canada, Fawn Wood is a Juno Award-winning Indigenous singer, songwriter, and performer. She carried on the Round Dance and Pow-Wow singing traditions of her father's Plains Cree forefathers while inheriting the traditions and Salish chants of the Whonnock and Stlatlimx peoples from her mother Cindy Jim-Wood. After turning her hand to music from an early age, in 2006 she became the first female to win the Hand Drum contest at the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow and three years later opened the 11th Annual Native American Music Awards (NAMMYS). Her breakthrough came in 2021 with the release of her Kâkike album, for which she won the 2022 Juno Award for Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year. In 2024, the LP's title track went to number 60 on the Canadian Hot 100.
