Miranda Currie is a children’s entertainer who helps fuel a love of music for her audiences. She writes and performs songs that help kids learn Indigenous languages and to be proud of their culture in a fun and engaging way. She says that at the core of everything she does, she hopes to change the Indigenous narrative in Canada in a positive way.
She’s a talented multidisciplinary artist who was nominated for Indigenous Songwriter of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2015 for her album Up In the Air, and released her first children’s album, Bouncing in the Boreal, in 2018. In 2019 she participated in an Indigenous Songwriter residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity where she worked on her second northern Indigenous children's album. Most recently she was selected to participate in the National Screen Institute’s IndigiDocs filmmaker training program and the documentary she’s creating about her Canadian Inuit sled dog Ellesmere will be available soon.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Miranda about how she developed a passion for writing songs and performing for children, why she incorporates Indigenous languages into her music, and how she’s exploring more ways of creative expression through filmmaking.
