Saturday April 1, 2017, at the Shaw Centre in Ottawa, Canadian Beats was part of the JUNO Gala Dinner & Awards ceremonies in the media Q&A Room. There, many of the night’s winners came in to spend some time with us and answer a few questions. Writing it down is alright but, seeing them actually answering our questions helps you see what we see. Please enjoy some of the artists that we met.

Hello everyone! My name is Linda and I have been a fan of Canadian Music for as long as I can remember. That counts for way too many decades than I want to admit to! I have three primary passions in my life, music, photography and writing. When I can combine them all, I feel I am right where I should be. Though I can appreciate all genres of music, my particular favourite is Country. Canadian Country is moving in leaps and bounds. I love how it is progressing and I’m thankful that I can be a small part of it.
