INGIA

Last Sunday I found out I was nominated & the recipient for a Black History Manitoba Community award. Yesterday evening, I accepted the award at the 2026 Black History Month Closing Ceremony & Awards Banquet.

I was awarded the The Entertainment / Music Award which celebrates a person or band whose exceptional talent and artistry in music not only demonstrates distinction in their craft but also inspire and uplift those who experience their work. Above all, this individual or group enriches the community by bringing joy, connection, and memorable moments through their gifts. Many told me yesterday that this was a well-deserved recognition. 🥹

I’m so grateful, it means so much that I have an impact on my community by simply being true to what I love, music. Thanks for being a part of my journey. ♥️

New year, New photos ✨

Starting fresh on Facebook with a new page so let me introduce myself, I’m INGIA 🤍

Music has always been in my life I started singing when I was really young, then picked up the clarinet and then the saxophone shortly after. Along the way, I found my love for certain genres and the endless possibilities of what you can do with music… and that curiosity turned into this path I’ve been discovering.

I’m a vocalist, saxophonist & composer. I am a Desautels Faculty of Music (university of Manitoba) 2023 grad. By day, I’m a full-time administrative assistant and I’m also an independent freelance artist. Now I am an aspiring law student with dreams of working in entertainment law.

When I’m not creating, I love checking out new food spots around Winnipeg, hosting things with friends, and sharing my deep love of music with others.

I’m also the founder of HERitage, a community initiative creating space for Black, POC women & underrepresented voices in the arts 🌸
