Based out of Brampton via Toronto, Haviah Mighty is a songwriter, vocalist, producer, and performer. Her music is complex and unique with rap, song, and instrumentals transitioning seamlessly from hip-hop to soul to Afrobeats.
Haviah's biggest turning point happened in 2016 when she was part of a rap cypher that went viral. That moment gave her the confidence she needed to pour all of her energy into music and pursue it as a career.
Haviah's next big milestone happened in 2019 when she became the first hip-hop artist and the first Black woman to win the Polaris Music prize. Two years later, she won a JUNO and made history again as the first woman to ever win the Rap Album of the Year category.
You'll hear more about those big moments and how Haviah's foundation at Fanshawe College helped pave the way for the success she continues to have today.
This episode was recorded on IG Live on November 29th and we are so thrilled to have Fanshawe Alumni as a sponsor for this episode and a partner for this season of Turning Point.
