Luminato Festival - The Power of the Land - Shub

Green Lawn Stage

Shub (formerly known as DJ Shub) is a Mohawk artist, producer, and composer from Six Nations of the Grand River, and the pioneer behind the powwow-step genre. A former member of the JUNO-winning A Tribe Called Red, he helped define a new era of Indigenous electronic music with the breakout track Electric Pow Wow Drum, now exceeding 25 million streams. His solo career has since taken him from the DMC World Championships to the Canadian Screen Awards, where he won Best Original Song for his soundtrack to The Grizzlies, to the theme of Sacha Baron Cohen's Emmy-nominated Showtime series Who Is America? With Heritage, a two-part body of work and the most ambitious project of his career, Shub has created his most complete statement yet. Raw, genre-defying, and deeply rooted in culture, the two albums together form a full autobiography, weaving electronic, hip-hop, and powwow energy into something that belongs equally in a club, at a festival, or in someone's headphones. Anchored by bucket-list collaborations and a commitment to bringing Indigenous music to the biggest stages in the world, Heritage Part One and Two are unmistakably Shub.
