Before Twin Flames:
At the 2015 Indigenous music Awards, Jaaji’s album Nunaga won best Indigenous Language/Francophone Album of the year and Chelsey’s Album Finding me was nominated best Folk Album. Twin Flames is a combination of both their talents.
Jaaji and Chelsey met in the summer of 2014 during the filming of the television series TAM (Talent Autochtones Musicaux) for APTN which both were chosen to appear. Their voices matched one another perfectly right from the start creating soothing melodic harmonies. The two then decided to form Twin Flames. Together they prove that music should be about how it makes the listener feel. With thought-provoking songs, they gently educate audiences on realities of Indigenous and Inuit history and current issues.
