The Deadly Uncle Podcast was created as a safe space to connect Indigenous men and boys to their culture and communities. Join Curt Young and Trent Agecoutay as they talk to "Deadly Uncles" in the Indigenous Community.
Each podcast promotes belonging and social inclusion to support the physical and mental wellbeing of Indigenous men and boys. This week Young and Agecoutay talk with Stirling John.
Stirling is an Ojibwa Inspirational Country Artist originally from the Saugeen First Nation Reserve in Ontario, now proudly calls Alberta home. Based just outside Edmonton, he is deeply involved with First Nation communities across Canada, particularly in supporting Indigenous youth. In 2022, Stirling focused his energy on recording a new project, drawing from his passions and commitment to community. The title track, “Where I’m Meant To Be,” reflects his personal journey and values. Stirling’s commitment to helping others extends beyond music. He is the first Ambassador to the Veterans Association Food Bank in Alberta and has established the Stirling John Foundation for Youth Empowerment, providing mentorship and leadership to young people. Over the last four years, Stirling has received numerous nominations across various prestigious awards, including the JUNO Awards, Country Music Alberta Awards (CMAB), Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA), and Gospel Music Association (GMA).
