In Canada: Alanis Morissette to Accept Icon Award at Billboard Canada Women in Music 2024

Alanis Morissette will receive the Icon Award at the Billboard Canada Women in Music event, plus more Canada music industry news.

Though she was often pigeonholed as an angry songwriter in the ‘90s, she’s now fully celebrated as a multidimensional artist who has showed the unlimited nature of representing femininity in music, opening the doors to multiple generations of musicians who continue to rediscover her. Nina Horvath, Coastal Jazz’s Executive Director, tells Billboard Canada that their funding issues stem from the loss of their title sponsor, TD, in 2022, coupled with rising infrastructure costs. Amidst these challenges, the Vancouver Jazz Festival hosted a successful 39th edition, welcoming international stars like Killer Mike and showcasing local artists like R&B singer Janette King and indie group Parlour Panther.
