Elisapie is an award-winning singer-songwriter, actor, director, producer and activist.

Unconditional love for her homeland and tender reflections on Inuit culture and traditions are deeply entrenched in the work of Inuk singer-songwriter, actor, director and activist Elisapie (b. Elisapie Isaac, 1977).

Raised in the remote community of Salluit in Nunavik, the northernmost region of Quebec, she began singing on stage as a teenager with her uncle. After moving to Montréal to pursue communications and music, Elisapie wrote and directed the prize-winning documentary Sila piqujippat(If the Weather Permits) and won a JUNO Award as part of the musical duo Taima.

She gained acclaim as a solo artist with the Félix Award-winning The Ballad of the Runaway Girl (2018), which showcased her storytelling talent and her ability to sing effortlessly in Inuktitut, English and French. Inuktitut (2023) is a nostalgic compilation of covers that she performs in her mother tongue of songs by artists – from Blondie to Led Zeppelin – who influenced her growing up. It earned her the 2024 JUNO Award for Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year.

Elisapie is the creator and producer of Le grand solstice, a musical and cultural celebration televised annually to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day.
