2013 | Aboriginal Album of the Year (Sponsored by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network) | Janet Panic | | The JUNO Awards

Metis artist, Janet Panic writes beautifully crafted songs, from clever finger picking guitar melodies to cheeky turn of phrase. In the past two years, her captivating solo and band performances have been seen on four telecasts on three different national networks: Global, CTV and APTN. Produced by Jeff Dawson (Dan Powter, Kelly Rowland, The Dudes, State Of Shock), Ms. Panic's new single, "Sweet Music” is the latest addition to her delectable music storytelling. This B.C. based singer-songwriter has been casting her spell over an ever-expanding fan base on the strength of her great songs. She was nominated for a 2011 Canadian Folk Music Award and for an Aboriginal People's Choice Award in 2011 and won best Folk Album at the APCMA's in November 2012. A polished and engaging performer, Ms. Panic is earthy and unpretentious – drawing you onto her stage with raw charisma. But at the end of the day, the thing you will remember is the songs – and her name.
