Mitch Daigneault

At an early age, Mitch began playing guitar and quickly found a love for music. He began writing and performing his own music at a later stage. Mitch entered numerous talent shows with great results, which began a new chapter and a career hunt. Mitch got involved in many showcases such as the Voices of the North and the Country North Show that are based out of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Being a part of the show brought great exposure and experience performing on a live stage. During this time, Mitch took the next logical step and enrolled in the Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio, where he received a certificate in recording engineering.

In 1997, Mitch began a 7-year gig with the C-weed Band in which he sang and played lead guitar. Since then, the C-weed Band has recorded the CD, Run As One in which Mitch wrote two of the songs and played guitar on each of the CD�s tracks. The album received a Juno nomination in 2000 for Best Music of Aboriginal Canada.

In April of 2002, Mitch recorded and produced his first solo CD. The title track, Keep On Believing has received generous airplay on Aboriginal radio stations across Canada, such as CFWE from Edmonton, Alberta and Missinippi Broadcasting Corporation from La Ronge, Saskatchewan. Substantial airplay on NCI Radio from Winnipeg, Manitoba that broadcasts to 95% of Manitoba, landed the song on the Aboriginal Top 30 for a substantial number of weeks which resulted in a nomination for single of the year by the radio station based on airplay being in the top three for the year. In November of 2003, Mitch won the award for Best Country Album for the CD �Keep On Believing� at the 2003 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards held in Toronto. He was also nominated in the categories of Best Male Artist and Best Songwriter.
In early 2005 Mitch began composing the music for a documentary for the Missinipi Broadcasting Corporation. In March he completed the recording and production for the documentary airing on APTN throughout 2006 and 2007. In 2007 he worked on subsequent episodes for MBC and produced numerous recordings of local performers at his home recording studio. Mitch continues to be active in the music field, recording, producing, playing, performing and writing and is poised to make the jump onto the mainstream Canadian country music stage.

Now residing in Battleford, Sask, Mitch released his long-awaited CD in May 2008 entitled "Driving All Night" with the title track racing up the National Aboriginal Top 30 Countdown that airs across Canada.

In November 2008, Mitch received two awards for Best Songwriter and Best Male Artist at the 2008 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards held in Toronto. The two awards stem from the release of �Driving All Night.� The CD �Driving All Night� was also nominated in the Best Country Album category.
