Biography
CerAmony are a 2011 Juno Award winning (Best Aboriginal Album of the year) and Canadian Aboriginal Music Award winning (Songwriters of the year) duo, in which their journey began in 2003. Their debut album (CerAmony) would only be released in the winter of 2010 (March 13, 2010).
The band name, CerAmony (in which the A is represented by a sacred ceremonial tent) came to Pakesso Mukash (Lead Guitarist, Backing vocals/rap) upon waking up from a dream one day. Both Matt Iserhoff (Lead Vocals) and Pakesso agreed that it was a perfect name in the universal aspect that every race, religion and creed have ceremonies. The logo was designed by Pakesso’s sister (and Matthew’s wife) Natazia Mukash, unshakeable and unwavering, CerAmony’s ambitions have since been aimed at a global appeal. The purpose? To spread the message and identity of the Cree people of James Bay in the wake of the threat that is the modern day. To inspire those that still speak the language and live the culture, to continue to do so, and do so proudly. This pride and message can also be shared with CerAmony’s brothers and sisters from other indigenous nations worldwide.
CerAmony’s music is designed for the masses. From arena anthems like Looks Like Change (To Me) and Our Guns, to the light-hearted songs like Live Again and Round N’ Round, the band’s sound isn’t rooted in one genre, but is spread across many genres. It is this variety that brings together not only fans of all genres, but also fans from all walks of life. And when a band can excite a crowd of many colored spirits and have them sing with one voice, then they have truly achieved what all ceremonies are designed to do; Unify.
