Joanna Majoko is one of the participants in this year’s Searchlight competition - the former Hapnot Collegiate student, now a professional jazz singer in Toronto, entered with the song “Where You Are”. Majoko moved with her family from Germany to Zimbabwe to South Africa to Manitoba in her childhood, living in Flin Flon and Thompson before embarking on her musical career. Majoko is now a vocalist, composer and bandleader in Toronto and just released her first EP, No Holding Back, in March. No artists currently based in Flin Flon are taking part in this year’s Searchlight competition, but two Manitoba acts have entered with songs written about Flin Flon and parts of its history.
