SheDoesTheCity attended the 2024 JUNO Nominee Announcement ceremony this morning and we’re thrilled to see some of our favorite Canadian women and non-binary artists being recognized! The iconic Grammy-Award winner Nelly Furtado also made a special appearance to speak with guests and celebrate the nominees.

With 6 nominations, Montreal singer-songwriter Charlotte Cardin leads the way. Viral sensations Tate McRae and LU KALA also scored multiple nominations, and Tegan and Sara will be honoured with the prestigious 2024 Humanitarian Award for their charitable achievements and support of 2SLGBTQ+ women and girls. More highlights from the nominee list (and previous SheDoesTheCity interviewees!) include The Beaches, Luna Elle, Katie Tupper, Jah’Mila, Haviah Mighty, and Mae Martin.
