Uyarakq will serve the crowd with a smashing idiosyncratic High North music mix. Uyarakq, also know as Aqqalu Berthelsen, was born in Nuuk, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) in the mid 80's. He is a self-taught music producer/composer and DJ with a background in metal music. Growing up in Uummannaq, in the Northern part of the island and Nuuk, the capital, has played a large role in shaping him to be a versatile musician between two worlds. He is currently doing a lot of work in the Indigenous circumpolar hip hop and rap scene with a foot in two continents, the North American arctic and the European arctic.
Uyarakq won a Koda Award in 2015 for his solo album Raatiu Nukik (2014) and was nominated for Nordic Councils Music Prize in 2016 for the collaborative work Kunngiitsuuffik (2015) alongside the Greenlandic rapper Peand-eL. He is based in Ottawa, Canada.
