The inaugural SiriusXM Black Canadian Music Awards were announced on Jan. 11 and the five winners are hip-hop artist Tobi, rapper Naya Ali, and R&B singer-songwriters Raahiim, Hunnah and Dylan Sinclair.
The new award was announced in September 2020 by the SOCAN Foundation to “recognize and celebrate the artistic merit demonstrated by Black music creators (songwriters, composers, producers, etc.) in all genres.”
SOCAN said the awards were created in recognition of systemic racism within society, and to “acknowledge and denounce history’s injustices by celebrating the talent of Black Canadian music creators.”
More than 300 applications from Canadian artists were submitted for the award.
