I ♥ Canadians

Amanda Ash over at The Indie Files got a chance to attend The Cultch’s IGNITE! Mentorship Program.  After she spoke on a panel about media relations in the arts, she met the future of Canadian music:

These kids, ranging from spoken word gurus to songwriting superstars to drama queens to dancing kings, are quite talented. I later got the chance to sit in a group with just the songwriters and talk to them in-depth about the music industry, music journalism and music in general. It is moments like these that make me frustrated to hear about funding cuts to the arts. There are some truly talented and devoted teens who are eager to make music a career, but the reality is that’s going to be more and more difficult in coming years.

The above photo is what the future of Canadian music looks like. Doesn’t it look spectacular? I think so!
