ABOUT SARA KAE
.Sara Kae is an Ojibwe and Cree artist, writer and performer with limitless range both in the stories she tells and where she tells them. A member of Lake Helen First Nation, Sara got her start touring northern Ontario with her counselor father, speaking and singing in schools and community gatherings from the age of 12.
Today, as an honours graduate and Founders Award recipient at the esteemed Metalworks Institute in Mississauga and CJF-CBC Indigenous journalism fellow in Winnipeg, Sara’s early career accomplishments include a concert series with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra (“Rise with Sara Kae”), co-creating a musical theatre production (“Trading Places”), partnering with Susan Aglukark’s Arctic Rose Foundation, and opening for Juno award winning, Aysanabee. On the radio Sara’s been heard as a recording artist on her debut singles “Rise” and “Constellations,” headlining her own Toronto radio program with APTN, and hosting national Truth and Reconciliation Day programming on CBC.
Her single “25″ released on September 27 on all streaming platforms opened a new and exciting musical chapter in the story of Sara Kae; told with the tone, nuance, and personality you would expect from a prodigy of Sara’s caliber and lived experience. The full-length EP, Maadaadizi, funded by the Ontario Arts Council is an intimate, organic, and upbeat tribute to Sara’s growth. The recently released “One Good Reason” is one of the many new songs to be released in 2025.
