Blue Moon Marquee: Fueled by Love, Powered by Music
A.W., who is half Cree and Métis, grew up facing the deep impacts of intergenerational trauma. His mother was a survivor of the Sixties Scoop, and his childhood was marked by poverty and instability. Music became his way through—his healing, his expression, and his connection to identity.
When his father gave him a guitar and said, “You came from a broken home—you may need this,” it set him on a path that would shape his life.
