EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE!

I am absolutely thrilled that CKUA Radio had decided to air the Jukebox, starting this Sunday (January 26), from 7-10pm MT.

CKUA is a listener-supported, community radio station in Alberta, run by a wonderful group of people, who have always been very supportive of me and my music.

This is a great addition to our growing family of station partners, and will bring this labour of love for me, to a lot of new listeners.

I am grateful to the fine folks at CKUA, and to all of our station partners, who tirelessly support independent radio.

Sincerely,

Julian Taylor

Born and raised in Ottawa, Rheaume is a member of the Métis Nation of Ontario and has Objiwe/Anishinaabe ancestors from Lac Seul. She is the granddaughter of Eugène Rhéaume, one of Canada's first Métis members of parliament.

Rheaume contributed a song to the 2003 Ottawa compilation Ottawa Indie Vibe before releasing her full-length debut album Light of Another Day in 2011. She travelled to Afghanistan on several occasions to perform for servicemen in the Canadian military.

Rheaume began writing songs about her Métis heritage on her 2013 album Keep a Fire. The album won the 2014 Canadian Folk Music Award for Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year and was nominated for the 2014 Juno for the Aboriginal Album of the Year. In 2016, Holding Patterns followed, which was nominated for the 2016 Canadian Folk Music Award for the Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year. In 2019, Rheaume released her critical-acclaimed album The Skin I'm In. In 2022, The Spaces in Between, an album produced by Juno Award-winning producer Hill Kourkoutis, was nominated for the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Indigenous Songwriter of the Year.

Rheaume is also actively involved in the development of the Indigenous music industry. In 2021, Rheaume and Juno-award winner ShoShonna Kish of Digging Roots co-founded Ishkōdé Records. Rheaume is the director of operations for the International Indigenous Music Summit and participated as project coordinator for the creation of the Indigenous Music Office, a national advocacy group.
