Written Submission - How would this Honour benefit the nominee?:
Receiving this Honour would be an incredible milestone for Maggie Andrew and a well-deserved recognition of her artistry, hard work, and impact. Maggie has been carving out her own lane in the Canadian music industry, blending pop and alternative sounds with deeply personal storytelling. She’s done it with courage, creativity, and a strong sense of identity, often representing Atlantic Canada on a national stage where voices from our region are still too often overlooked.
This recognition would help amplify her platform as a bold, genre-bending artist and inspire other young artists to see what’s possible when you lead with authenticity. It would also validate the years of dedication Maggie has poured into her craft and highlight the national importance of supporting diverse voices from all parts of the country.
Maggie’s story is one of resilience, self-expression, and growth, and this Honour would both celebrate how far she’s come and open new doors for what comes next.
