A Canadian singer-songwriter dead at 26.
Kelly Fraser, an acclaimed Inuk singer-songwriter born in Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, who had been living in Winnipeg, has died at age 26.
Fraser's advocacy on behalf of youth and her Inuit throat-singing talents gained her a faithful following.
The cause of Fraser's death earlier this week in the Manitoba capital hasn't been announced.
Fraser started on guitar at age 11 and formed a band at 15. She rose to fame in 2013 after her sparkling Inuktitut cover of Rihanna's Diamonds went viral.
Fraser released her first album, Isuma, in 2014. Her second album, Sedna in 2017, was nominated for best Indigenous music album at the 2018 Juno Awards honouring Canadian music.
