Shibastik, Moose Cree for "underground flow," is an accomplished rapper, music producer, public speaker, artist, athlete and a proud member of the Moose Cree First Nation (Môsonîwililiw). He was born and raised on the Moose River and was inspired by life as a Cree hunter on the Mushkegowuk (James Bay) Lowlands. His music and art have always promoted awareness and appreciation for both the land and First Nation culture, past and present.
At the forefront of Canada's Native hip hop movement, Shibastik began producing music independently in 1998. Then in 2002, he landed a spot on a tv series called First Music and Arts, making him one of the first Native hip hop artists to appear on national television in Canada.
Shibastik has well over a decade of extensive training and experience working with youth, including youth in foster care and in detention centers. He has always promoted holistic development through sports and arts based programming . Employed as an IRCS (Intensive Rehabilitation in Custody Supervision) Worker at a secure custody detention center, Shibastik acquired intensive grief and loss training, cognitive training, and dialectical and behavioural therapy education. He also organized cultural programming and events for youth as a member of the center's cultural committee, even helping to build and run a sweat lodge on the facility grounds.
It was while working at the youth detention center that Shibastik developed his 'Healing Through Hip Hop' workshop. He has since presented his workshop at conferences, in schools (elementary, secondary and post- secondary), and at various events nationwide. His distinctive brand of music and thought-provoking lyrics have continued to move and empower audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
Currently nominated in 2 categories at the 2024 Native American Music Awards as well as for "Best Male Hip Hop Artist" at the 2024 International Indigenous Hip Hop Awards Show, Shibastik’s music is as relevant and powerful today as ever.

Ottawa’s Cody Coyote is of Ojibwe/Irish descent with ancestry from Matachewan First Nation. With his fusion of strong, profound lyricism accompanied by corresponding influential sounds such as his song “There Tonight”, this multi-award nominated, and award winning Hip-Hop/Electronic/Pop artist commands his listeners’ attention by delivering mesmerizing performances.

On October 10th, World Mental Health Day, Cody Coyote released his powerful new single, “Lost”. This song is deeply personal, created to raise awareness and spark important conversations about mental health. “I wrote ‘Lost’ as a reflection of the struggles many of us face but often feel like we can’t talk about” says Coyote. “It’s about those moments where you feel overwhelmed, isolated, or misunderstood. My hope is that ‘Lost’ can help listeners realize they’re not alone in those feelings.”

The inspiration behind “Lost” came from Cody Coyote's desire to encourage vulnerability and healing. “Music has always been a way for me to express what’s inside, and I wanted this song to serve as a reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. We need to talk about mental health more openly and compassionately, and that starts with sharing our own experiences." 

With “Lost”, Cody Coyote continues to push boundaries, using his platform not only to showcase his talent but also to promote important causes. As he puts it, “If my music can help even one person feel seen, then I’ve done my job.”

With recognition for creating positive change in the world, this dedicated artist won the award for Ottawa's Best Hip-Hop Artist at the 2023 Ottawa Awards hosted by FACES Magazine, CTV and Mattamy Homes Canada. Previous to that he had reached number 1 on the Indigenous Music Countdown with "There Tonight" in August 2022, number 7 with his song Helpless in February 2022 and number 1 with his song Manidoo Dewe’igan in January 2020.

Outside of music, Cody Coyote is also a motivational speaker, workshop facilitator and is the host of “The Beat” on elmnt fm owned and operated by First People’s Radio Inc. (Ottawa/Toronto).

“The community work I do is really what drives me and has allowed me to become passionate about initiating positive change in the world today.” says Coyote. “I want the future generations of this world to ultimately feel empowered and seen.”

They came together by chance. They stayed together for a shot. 

When Adrian Sutherland from the isolated Cree community of Attawapiskat was offered opening spot for Trooper in Timmins in 2011, he reeled in three other musicians from the James Bay to form Midnight Shine. His intention was to make the most of a one-off performance. Ten years, four albums, eight Indigenous Music Countdown “Top 10” radio singles, and 300+ media stories later… you could say he has.

Turning heads with a sound seamlessly mixing roots, classic and modern rock with touches of Mushkegowuk Cree, Adrian Sutherland & Midnight Shine have been lighting up the music world all the way from Canada’s Far North. Crafting a musical soundscape that gives a glimpse into their remote Canadiana landscape, they continue to push musical boundaries and boldly take new strides, while staying true to who they are and where they come from. A must-see band you’ll take a real shine to.
