Brenda Montana has a personality as bubbly and uplifting as her music. Hailing from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, the pop singer-songwriter and TikTok influencer is a proud Inuk who often pays homage to her culture through her work.
Montana grew up on music, learning singing, throat singing, piano, guitar, and ukulele throughout her childhood and teenage years. She began as a singer-songwriter in 2018, inspired by years of watching her late Uncle Ken sing and play guitar at family events.
In 2020, Montana joined the generation of internet music influencers by posting singing and comedy videos on TikTok under the username @inuksuk. Today, she has made a name for herself on the app, currently boasting over 120K followers and over 2M likes across videos.
Despite extreme adversity at a young age, Montana has always moved forward, continuously promoting a message of hope and love in her music. Her debut album, Qaujimagit, set to release in August 2022, is a collection of songs – some in Inuktitut and some in English – that Montana wrote for the loved ones in her life.
Her music sends a message to her friends, family, and community at large: “There are people who care for you and you are not alone.”
Montana continues to connect with her growing fan base, creating a friendly, welcoming place to share her music and stories. She hopes to one day go on tour, traveling the world and making people smile.
