REGINA Yorkton local Samara Yung has once again been nominated for three awards by the Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA). Since making her debut on stage in her father’s band when she was eight years old, Samara Yung has accomplished a lot in her music career. “I remember that I forgot the words, but I was eight so what you can you do. Luckily that did not scar me because it was just a rollercoaster from there. I went from performing one song to five songs,” said Yung. She has since released five albums and seven singles. Among the nominations, Yung is us up for Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Fans’ Choice Entertainer of the Year.
Yung s father, and a member of her band Murray Yung is up for Bass Player of the Year. This is not Yung s first time to be nominated, but she said she remains excited every year. I don t think they will ever lose their importance, she said. It s an honour to be nominated as I know there are so many other talented people in this province, and not everyone gets to be in the top-five. So I am truly grateful for everyone who decided to put that check mark beside my name. I still get nervous before the nominations come out because everyone just keeps getting better and better and one day my name may not be there anymore.
