Arviat singer-songwriter finds inspiration on the land
Original article ↗Key figures
(Photo courtesy of Jocelyn Malla) By Nehaa Bimal For Coral Harbour-based musician Jocelyn Malla, a $9,000 songwriting prize means more than recognition for her music.
Malla won first place in the Government of Nunavut’s 2026 Qilaut Inuktut songwriting contest with her song Tukisivunga, earning the $8,000 grand prize.
She also placed fifth with Kamatsiaqta, winning her an additional $1,000.
She previously took the grand prize in 2022, and placed fourth and seventh in 2025 in the same competition.
She submitted her songs July 1 and later travelled to Iqaluit to record both entries at Aakuluk Studio this month.
