Nigeria-born, saxophonist, songwriter, arts manager, culture enthusiast, and aspiring producer, Perpetual Atife is constantly carving expressive means to wave pieces of her life’s experiences and dreams, into an open box of treasure—music.
Also known by her stage name, Perpie, she won the 2021 Calgary Catholic Immigration Society New Canadian Artist Award at this year’s Mayor’s Lunch for Arts Champions and is currently the Calgary Public Library’s Newcomer Artist in Residence. You can catch her final concert in that role on September 11, 2021.
Listen to this week’s podcast to hear about her journey into music, why Calgary is now her home, and how she has connected with the local arts community.
