Watch the 2021 Juno Songwriters' Circle

By David Farrell

The annual Juno Songwriters' Circle has always been a well-attended event during Juno Week, and this year’s virtual session was likely one of the most viewed events during Juno week, streamed live from the Glenn Gould Studio in CBC's Toronto headquarter. The Saturday evening soiree was hosted by Jim Cuddy and featured July Talk's Leah Fay and Peter Dreimanis, Deborah Cox, Dan Hill and Carole Pope. For these songsmiths, it was likely the first time that they had the opportunity to mingle and socialize with their own kind in over a year, making it a very special occasion for them and, in turn, for us too.

Diljit Dosanjh Has Arrived: The Rise of a Global Star

The first time the Punjabi singer and actor came to Canada, he vowed to play at a stadium. With the Dil-Luminati Tour in 2024, he made it happen – setting a record in the process. As part of Billboard's Global No. 1s series, Dosanjh talks about his meteoric rise and his history-making year.

Throughout his history-making Dil-Luminati Tour, Diljit Dosanjh has a line that he’s repeated proudly on stage, “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye” – or, “The Punjabis have arrived!”

The slogan has recognized not just the strides made by Diljit, but the doors his astounding success has opened for Punjabi music and culture.
