What a beautiful story.

TBT to a special project celebrating 10 years this week—showcasing incredible youth talent from Eskasoni First Nation and featuring Mi’kmaq rapper, Devon Paul. 'Gentle Warrior' was co-written and produced by EYM founder Carter Chiasson and Devon who also co-wrote and was the lead artist on EYM’s recent international song project, 'We Are the Love'. Huge congrats to Dev, Kalo, Thunder and the whole crew on a project that’s still inspiring and educating a decade later.

This celebration honours Canada’s Armed Forces, RCMP, and other first responders and celebrates the heritage of Canadians’ contributions to national and international peace and stability.

Nicole and Carter ont eu l'honneur d'assister au spectacle d'ouverture du Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo vendredi dernier. Ce fut une soirée exceptionnelle, démontrant collaboration et détermination, amitié et promesses.

We at EYM want to congratulate Devon Paul for being a part of this year's show and for sharing his song, We are the Love, with the world. This song honours our friendship and support towards Ukraine.

Huge congratulations to Emma Stevens from The EYM Project! Way to go, Emma — and best of luck at the Tattoo! Also, happy 100 years to The Commisionaires. We’re honoured and proud to be a part of this.

Music has the power to unite and inspire change. Through my partnership with Commissionaires Nova Scotia and the royaltattons, in addition to being an anthem for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Children and Two-Spirited People, my song "I Want to Rise" becomes a call to stand together against human trafficking. Recognizing the signs and protecting the vulnerable is the best defence the public can offer.

I will be performing at the Royal Nova Scotia Tattoo at the end of the month, from June 27-July 1. You can buy tickets at https://nstattoo.ca/emma-stevens/

Congratulations to Emma and Carter from The EYM Project on being honored with the King Charles III Coronation Medal, recognizing their impactful contributions to Indigenous education and their dedication to preserving Mi'kmaq language and culture through the arts.

Feeling inspired after an unforgettable two weeks at World Cities Day and the World Urban Forum in Egypt! It was truly energizing to connect with brilliant young leaders who are driving change and working to shape a better future for all. We were honored to be a part of these important events and share our work and music on a global stage. Here’s to the power of youth, innovation, and collaboration in building a brighter tomorrow.
