Description
The language of sound has always been ingrained in Mich Cota's identity. As a two-spirit woman, raised by a native father and a white mother in Southern Ontario, Cota began composing small melodies on the piano from the age of three to create her own sacred space in an intensely religious home. Inspired by her countryside surroundings, she would ingrain herself in nature, imagining herself in a place free of theology and restraint.
This is something Cota has carried with her throughout her creative existence. Her music is a way of navigating past traumas while exploring her queer experience, with open, unapologetic sincerity. It's through her artistic expression that she relates to others, to build collective understanding and empathy, with the intention to heal and challenge normative ways of being.
She is someone who is constantly learning and searching for a way to exhibit her history that informs her artistic production rather than exhaust it. The song titles on Cota's full-length, KijaÌ / Care, are represented in both Algonquin and English; its dynamics oscillate between a restrained delicacy and a roaring exultation while its painful assertions blossom into a strengthened authority. The intention on KijaÌ / Care is to heal, to encourage others to process aspects of being that they can reflect on and to observe and study the world around them. It is an assertion of ancient understanding in a world that wants to erase it, surging this emotional energy with an intense but fragile spirit.
