This Child Album Released in January 1995 (tour 2025)

I was often asked where does the title of my album This Child come from? This
Child the song was my artist statement, my call to personal action.
At the time that I began song writing, I wrote from what I knew and I knew only my experiences from living and knowing life in the arctic, how does one turn a life lived in a small arctic town into a major label debut album?
I started with what I knew and at the time that I was writing This Child, what I knew was a life of deep alone-ness. I left home to start over and this felt very much like a disconnecting from something critical, a land based way of connection which was the Inuit way and a most beautiful kind of connecting to humanity, the alone-ness came from the fear that I was disconnecting from this. The introduction to singing, writing and recording gave that alone-ness a place, a voice, a direction. This Child was my song to
my future artist and inuk self, telling myself to write who you are so you don't ever forget where you come from, who you are and why you left.
