In 2018, he won the prestigious award for “Best Album of the Year in Indigenous Language in North America” at the Indigenous Music Awards. In the same year, he won the Indigenous Songwriter of the Year award at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. He is currently working on a new album which will appear in 2020.
