Living in North Battleford, SK, I am a Support Worker at Miwasin Kikanow at Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs (BATC). I was also a sound and stage technician at the Dekker Centre of the Performing Arts in North Battleford , SK and was working there for almost 9 years until covid pandemic struck.
I am an aboriginal rock musician artist from Moosomin First Nations an I am lead singer and also play guitar for a band called “Feedback”, with my brother Bryan Arcand on bass guitar and my sister Allison Howell on the drums. And to this day we still get together and rock out as Feedback on such special occasional events, and band practices.
Around 2006 I started working on our first Feedback album, writing the lyrics and ideas of the rhythm and lead tracks of our songs to our music comfort Feedbacks record album was then released in 2008, such songs as “Took It All Away”, “She’s My Babe” and “Damn Sexy” etc. after our album was finished we started touring for 3 years and then all decided to take a break with the band and raise our families. During our long break it was 2012 that I decided to make a recording place in my basement to try my first Christmas cover album with 7 Christmas cover songs such as “Away In A Manger”, “Silent Night”, “Let It Snow” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”. I also have an original Christmas single called “To Show Us The Meaning Of Christmas” which was made in 2015.
In 2016 I was composing, producing and recording my own original songs, which included writing new lyrics and new instrument tracks for my solo album. I then finally completed my very first album with 10 original songs including songs such as "Back And In My Life", "The Best Way That Starts My Day", “We Are The First Nations” and "So Fine That You Blow My Mind" which some of the songs are played on the 95.5 MBC radio station in La Ronge, SK and The Rock 102 FM radio station in Saskatoon, SK .
For me music is a passion of expressing feelings and emotions to anyone that hears my music. I make music to help others cope through life and for others that need healing. I hope that one day we will all live in peace and harmony with no more hate and violence in this world an that our stories will be heard through music an that it will always carry on through the next generations of musicians.
