Born and raised in Canada’s Far North, Adrian Sutherland is unlike anyone else. The roots-rocker with heart has the voice of a songbird, a boatload of talent, and an ocean of muses.
Sutherland’s melding of rock, roots, folk and blues is unlike anything else. Drawing inspiration from his life, the land, and his Cree culture, his soul-stirring sound is influenced by Tom Petty, Neil Young, The Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams, and Kashtin – the folk-rock duo from Quebec who sang in Innu-aimun.
Notawe (Father) is the lead single from Adrian’s second solo album “Precious Diamonds.” It’s one of two all-Cree songs, marking the first time he is making music in his mother tongue.
"Precious Diamonds" was produced in Nashville by Colin Linden. The first time he worked with Adrian was remotely in 2021. Cut off from the rest of the world, Adrian constructed a recording studio inside a shipping container to record his JUNO-nominated debut solo album "When The Magic Hits."
In addition to being a musician, author, and advocate, Adrian is a respected cultural leader, and traditional knowledge keeper, fluent in Omushkegowuk Cree. He is writing a book for Penguin Random House Canada about being born and raised in Attawapiskat.
Adrian cares deeply about many causes, with first-hand perspective on issues like contaminated water, food insecurity, addictions, and mental health. At this time of growing awareness around reconciliation, he is hopeful for Canadians to walk together with respect.
