New Constellations Artist: Safia Nolin

As part of this month’s New Constellations Digital Residency, we’re featuring some of the artists and mentors joining the nation(s)wide tour running from November 23 to December 20, 2017.


What’s your favourite song at the moment?

Undercover by Susanne Sundfør.

How do you celebrate a great performance?

Hugs, a lot hugs.

The best place in Toronto to enjoy winter weather is …

I absolutely don’t know … I’ve only been to Toronto in the spring. I guess i’ll figure out! 

What’s the last performance/concert you saw?

I saw Karkwa last month. One of my favourite bands, although sadly they broke up. They reunited for a fundraising event. 

Name one other New Constellations artist you think audiences should see during this nationwide tour.

Jeremy Dutcher, Elisapie, July Talk, EVERYONE. This tour is awesome! 

Describe the best gig you’ve ever played.

It was in a little venue called Mouton Noir in Val-David. It’s the best place to play. 

New Constellations will bring together a lineup of Canada’s Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. Why is that an important feature of this tour to you?

Because I feel like being apart of this is changing me in a good way. Because we’re a generation of people with the willpower and the motivation to change things. Because I believe it’s actually working. 

What’s coming up for you next?

Recording my album and hopefully a lot of gigs!
