The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos, including this one from a Juno-nominated singer/songwriter.


Tariq - Walking Dead

Juno nominated songwriter and recording artist Tariq was born in rural Quebec and has been in the music industry since the late ‘90s.

One of the music video directors for Walking Dead, Kasey Lum, said, “When I first listened to Tariq's song, Walking Dead, I was moved by the combination of pop-y vibes and image fuelled lyrics.” Lum has also worked with Felix Cartal, Noble Son, and Ackee Tecumseh. Co-director/cinematographer Jordan Clarke has helmed videos for Mike Edel, Majid Jordan, Glass Forest, and more.

This clip is a fun video of Tariq skateboarding through the city of Vancouver, making stops at the SkyTrain, a school and even a car wash. The video ends with him looking over the city from on top of the hill, as he standups with the music fading out.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
