Brianna Lizotte

Brianna Lizotte is a Métis Canadian fiddle player based in Edmonton, Alberta,[1] who received a Juno Award nomination for Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2025 for her album Winston & I.[2]

Born and raised in Sylvan Lake, she attended high school in Red Deer.[1] She released her debut album, Scratch 'Em, in 2018 before studying music at MacEwan University, where she graduated in 2023.[1] At MacEwan she discovered an interest in jazz, and incorporated some big band jazz elements into Winston & I.[1]

Winston & I was named in honour of Cree musician and educator Winston Wuttunee, with much of the album played on a fiddle Wuttunee previously owned.[3]
