Congratulations Ajungi Mentorship 2021/22 Graduates!
Ajungi is a Nunavut-wide music collective based in Iqaluit. During the summer of 2021, Hitmakerz launched an 8-month virtual music industry training program, called Ajungi Mentorship and worked with a group of talented, ambitious aspiring Inuit artists. You can read more about the program and participants here: https://www.hitmakerz.com/blog/ajungi-mentorship-program.
We would like to take a moment to thank our patron, FACTOR (The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent On Recordings)! This mentorship was made possible, because of the generous support from FACTOR’s Sponsorship Program. Also, thank you to our industry mentors and guest speakers: Sarah Elaine McLay, Thor Simonsen, Serina Knight, and Anthony Clark!
The successful graduates for the Ajungi Mentorship Program 2021/22 are:
Ehski, JD Mike, and Stuart Qiyuk!
We believe these dedicated artists are prepared to build successful, self-directed careers in the professional music industry.
Many are planning to work on their debut album production projects in the upcoming year. They are well-experienced collaborating online, with new digital, professional, and musical skills that will benefit these artists throughout their careers.
We are happy to present them with their Ajungi Arts & Business Diploma. Congratulations! 🥳🎓🎶
