Teagan Littlechief won the Saskatchewan Country Music Award for Indigenous Artist of the Year.
Teagan Littlechief says she is still on cloud nine after winning the Saskatchewan Country Music Award for Indigenous Artist of the Year.
“It’s still kind of hard to believe, but I’m just going through the motions right now. It’s always been a dream of mine, it’s always been a goal to someday win that award and this year was just the icing on the cake,” Littlechief said.
The singer from White Bear First Nation said that she’d been singing since she was five and joined the Saskatchewan Music Association about 20 years ago.
“Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to hold an award in my hand for something big. I mean a shampoo bottle, anything, always holding something (thinking) one day I want to win this award,” Littlechief said.
Littlechief said her mom always knew she could sing, that she was musically inclined. Her preschool teacher also said, “Get this girl into music lessons.”
“So that’s what happened,” Littlechief said. “I got into music lessons at the age of five or six, and I was in music lessons till I was about 13, 14 and I started entering contests. I got into a few radio contests, I won those.”
She then went on to perform at Voices of the North in Prince Albert and did her first recording at the age of 12. She also took part in Canadian Idol and made it to the top 100.
The journey wasn’t all sunshine and roses for Littlechief, though. She had many challenges along the way.
