Deedee Austin is coming to Horton High School! DeeDee will give a daytime performance and workshop for youth at Horton High School, and an evening concert for the public, in collaboration with our Presenting Partner, the Acadia Performing Arts Series.
DeeDee Austin is 19-year-old Indigenous pop powerhouse from Nova Scotia and sister of the Abegweit First Nation on PEI. DeeDee’s high energy performances are both contemporary and reflective of her Indigenous influences. She was recently awarded the Golden Buzzer by judges Howie Mandel and Shania Twain at Canada’s Got Talent ’25.
Despite her youth, DeeDee has received a combined total of 19 awards and nominations, including a nomination for ECMA 2025 Indigenous Artist of the Year.
She has headlined shows across Atlantic Canada and beyond and continues to evolve as one of Canada’s most exciting new talents.
Horton student, Alaina Therese will play an opening set. We're very excited to hear this emerging talent. Alaina was winner of Rewind 89.3 and Music In Communities' 2024 Youth Battle of the Bands. She's a powerful songwriter and skilled vocal and instrumentalist. We can't wait to hear what she's working on!
