Last night at the 2013 JUNO Awards, K.d. Lang was officially inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Over her musical career she has taken risks, changed the rules of music and won eight JUNO Awards and four Grammy Awards. Shortly after her acceptance speech, she met up with the media and here are some thoughts that she shared with us.
About the inspiration for her acceptance speech
"Life. The fact that I know that everybody’s a freak. I don’t know..I just really think that Canada is a special place. There aren’t many cultures that would allow people like myself to become national symbols. I mean, Canada’s a progressive liberal country and it makes me very proud to be a part of it.
I spent a lot of time from the time I found out I was gonna be receiving the award to the time I was ready to come here..pondering and meditating on what it actually meant. I didn’t want to make it over emotional because it really isn’t about me. It’s a shared interdependent situation."
About receiving the award
"I’m really really proud. I’m really almost speechless to be here and to receive this award."
About the highlight of her career
"I would have to say..and maybe because it’s fresh, but the winter Olympics. It [performing at the Olympics] was very very very important to me. The Vancouver winter Olympics was very special to me."

This year was a big year for Metric at the JUNOS. Not only did Metric win Alternative Album of the Year, but behind the scenes efforts were also recognized as Justin Broadbent won Recording Package of the Year and James Shaw won Producer of the Year. The great talent and dedication that went into this album certainly paid off.
Shortly after Metric accepted the JUNO, they headed to the media room where the RAGEregina.ca team was waiting to hear from them.
About their career- "We're happy to do what we do. We want to remain happy about it."
The Past Year- "There were some crazy times in the last year. [It] included the release of Synthetica for us. It included playing on the stage of Radio City Music Hall. It included playing in the ACC with [our] best and oldest friends Stars. There were too many moments last year to recount. Last year was special. It was amazing.
Up Next- "We are taking some time to invision the future. To see what's next."

Michael Bublé on hosting the Junos - "This night is not about me"
|
Michael Bublé, host of this year’s Juno awards ceremony Sunday night, was at the Brandt center this afternoon for a quick Q & A with the press.
Bublé will also be releasing his fifth album, To Be Loved, this Monday, April 22nd. When asked if he was more nervous about reading reviews of his album, or hosting the Junos, Bublé responded:
“The album is great and people will just love it. Critics will critique it and that’s what they do. I’m definitely more nervous about the Junos. I’ve put a lot into it, I’ve called in a lot of favours, I really want it to be special.”
Saturday at the JUNOS!

The Tenors Help Celebrate MusiCounts Band Aid Grants in Regina During JUNO Week
|
On April 18, The Tenors joined MusiCounts to kick off JUNO Week 2013, and to celebrate $25,000 worth of musical instruments being awarded to music programs in Regina. The event took place at Archbishop M.C. O'Neill Catholic High School, with 26 representatives from Dr. L.M.Hanna and 14 from Prairie Valley North also in attendance, and was hosted by Erin Miller and Chris Knight from My 92.1.
It was a beautiful afternoon, with performances by O'Neill's massive choir and by The Tenors, as well as a collaboration between the two at one point. Clifton Murray of the Tenors stuck around after the event to talk to us about why MusiCounts is so close to his heart.
