Keep doing what you're doing. I have the same pain as you and music is the only way to express oneself

I made and recorded this song over two weeks ago expressing myself about my depression and these dark suicidal that has constantly been on my mind. 

This song is about what I been dealing with and what I had to deal with during those dark moments during my alcohol relapse phase. The song also encourages others to move forward with their life. 

During the creative process of this song, I made it in hopes of inspiring myself and others to never give up on life, no matter what situation we deal with. It's time to end the Suicide Epidemic that has been affecting our people for far too long.

Nunavut Pop Duo: Make Friends, Not Money

Iqaluit music producer Thor Simonsen has joined musical forces with Sanikiluaq's Kelly Fraser to compete in this year's CBC Searchlight music competition. 

Their new single "Friends Are Free" is a nostalgic celebration of great friendships in Nunavut, around Canada, and throughout the world. 

"The idea came to me in a dream" said Thor. "I woke up in Beijing central station without money, and without knowing anyone. I then realized that all humans are basically kind. If I could make new friends then I would be ok. We really don't need money to survive, just love."

When asked about the song's message, Kelly stated: "In this western world of consumerism and capitalism, there are things much more important than money. I think people forget that sometimes."

Thor and Kelly – who are also long-time friends in real life –  began recording the vocals in Iqaluit in February.

"I love working with [Thor]," said Kelly. "He is such a talented producer, and we have this amazing musical chemistry. Making the song and music video was a lot of work, but it always felt like fun!"

The duo hopes the song will make it to the final stages of the music competition – their dream is to perform "Friends Are Free" live on stage at the CBC Music Festival in Toronto. 

"We want to show people in the South who we are," said Thor. "We want to put Nunavut on the map and make friends with the rest of Canada."

The duo plans to give the song away for free download until International Friends Day, August 7.

Qalunaat Nunanganit is the first single from Aasiva's debut self-titled album, out June 8, 2018 via Aakuluk Music.

ABOUT AASIVA: 

Colleen Nakashuk, who performs as Aasiva, is a young Inuktitut songwriter and exciting addition to Nunavut’s flourishing indie music scene, one that is quickly gathering momentum and attention on the national stage.
 
Aasiva’s sound, airy and lively, is shaped by her melodious voice set against playful ukulele. With Inuktitut lyrics and delicate throat singing elements interwoven throughout her songs, Aasiva’s music offers a fresh, buoyant and distinctive twist on indie folk.
 
Originally from the remote and majestic community of Pangnirtung, Aasiva currently resides in Iqaluit, also home to new label Aakuluk Music and, not coincidentally, a hotbed for contemporary Inuktitut music. A graduate of the Nunavut Sivuniksavut program for Inuit youth, a groundbreaking cultural and educational partnership with Ottawa’s Algonquin College, Nakashuk is eager to pass her knowledge of throat singing to younger generations of Inuit youth through her performances. She has appeared with throat-singer and Jerry Cans collaborator Avery Keenainak throughout Nunavut and beyond.
 
With a new album brimming with songs about language, love and the luxury of her Inuktitut upbringing, Aasiva adds her voice to a growing chorus of young artists proudly bringing new Inuktitut music into the mainstream.

"Better Days" is a song I created to help encourage people to come together and make positive changes. It also touches base with personal life experiences and how I utilize music as a positive outlet to move forward in my life.
