Jully Black is a true Canadian Icon. Name as one of ‘The 25 Greatest Canadian Singers Ever’, (CBC Music) she has been dubbed ‘Canada’s Queen of R&B Soul’ by fans and industry leaders alike. As a platinum selling recording artist, her music career has yielded multiple singles reaching the Top 10 pop, R&B and dance music charts. She has taken home Juno and Gemini Awards, earned innumerable industry accolades, was hand selected to sing for the Queen of England and inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2021 (PILLARS OF EXCELLENCE – Arts & Entertainment). With her powerhouse vocals, hilarious personality and love of people, Jully Black truly is everyone, and unlike anyone. Her passion for philanthropy has taken her from the shantytowns of Bangladesh to the villages of South Africa and all across Canada. As a woman of faith, she champions important causes and uses her career as a platform to celebrate and inspire the greatness that lies within each of us.

Jully is a major presence in the Canadian media and entertainment industry. In February 2023, Jully Black’s alteration of the Canadian anthem at the NBA All-Star game sparked debate. Instead of “Our home and native land,” the singer opted for “Our home on native land,” a subtle but powerful move that honoured Indigenous peoples in Canada. After consulting some of her Indigenous friends and practicing her rendition on the court, the singer knew the lyric swap was necessary. Black said she doesn’t want to dishonour the anthem, but the current version is a dishonour to the progress we’ve made as a country in recognizing Indigenous Peoples. “There can be no reconciliation without truth. They tie the two words together, truth and reconciliation.”

On April 3, 2023, the singer was honoured with a Blanketing Ceremony and Eagle Feather by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief, RoseAnne Archibald and the AFN Knowledge Keepers for singing the truth during her National Anthem Performance at the NBA All-Star game.
