about

Anytime I’m feeling pain, I’ll pick up an instrument and for whatever reason,
I’ll find an ease in playing the same thing over and over. Sometimes for just a moment and others the whole day. Cut Your Hair is one such song that reaches deep into the core of my being. When we recorded the song for Warrior Down, I had to go into the studio by myself and it was incredibly difficult to even get the words out. This was a huge contrast to the bombastic tracks we were laying down at that time and so I’ve been really shy about the stripped back and revealing nature of the song.

Cut Your Hair is a song about my grandpa and me. It’s a dedication to survivors and how our stories are tied to each other through Canada's Residential School system. This is not something I’ve been able to share in a way that is comfortable. Until working with my brother Daniel from Zoon. Our experiences as Anishinaabeg means that a lot can go unsaid between us. Daniel knew how important this song was to me and how lonely and painful it felt. How we wear the weight of our ancestors in every step we take and how those schools tore the culture from our families. Together we’ve been able to pick each other up and navigate these challenging experiences. In his style, Daniel added the missing elements that I had been searching for all along. I’m really proud of how this turned out and so excited for Zoon and all that’s to come for them.
