LIL SMUDGE
“Lil Smudge is a 2-spirit Indigenous femmecee from both the Vuntut G’witchin nation, and the Kawacatoose nation of Treaty 4. They grew up in the streets of the DTES estranged from their family for a number of years during their youth, and their music represents the journey to the person they’ve become today. From navigating a relationship with addiction, to living and loving with C-PTSD and repairing their relationship with self... Smudge works to bring strong medicine in their art with every honest word.”
