Today, the nominations were announced for the JUNO Awards, which will be presented on May 15th, 2022 in Toronto, Ontario.
The 51st JUNO award show will be hosted by Canadian actor, Simon Liu from Kim’s Convenience and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Aside from Canadian favourites like Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, this year’s nominations are full of new and emerging artists.
A lot of these fresh faces blew up on Tik Tok over 2021. Going viral on the video-sharing app is the new way to be recognized as an artist.
