About

The artist

Morgan Toney is a Mi'kmaq fiddler, singer, and songwriter based in Wagmatcook, Nova Scotia. His official artist site identifies his roots in We'koqma'q and Wagmatcook First Nations and describes an active career beginning in 2018. Toney calls his musical approach Mi’kmaltic, a meeting of Mi'kmaq songs, language, and teachings with the fiddle traditions of Cape Breton. His performances place voice and fiddle at the centre of a contemporary roots sound while keeping the cultural sources of the music visible. The official site and Ishkōdé Records document an ongoing creative partnership with musician and manager Keith Mullins. Current festival material presents a trio with Mullins on guitar, vocals, and percussion and Ryan Roberts on mandolin and vocals. Toney's recorded catalog began with Ko'jua in 2020 and expanded through the album First Flight in 2021, later introduced internationally by Ishkōdé Records. The Resilience project followed in 2023, and Heal The Divide arrived in March 2025. The exact Spotify identity 6loCzBWfTzYSjwN6QoDFQv currently contains nine principal album and single containers in the Canadian market. Spotify classifies two as albums and seven as singles, including multi-track containers that Apple Music describes as EPs. The provider catalog runs from Ko'jua in 2020 through the collaboration Doesn’t Feel Much Like Christmas in December 2025. Heal The Divide won Traditional Roots Album of the Year at the 2026 JUNO Awards. Resilience had been nominated in the same category in 2024 and won both Roots/Traditional Recording of the Year and Indigenous Artist of the Year at the 2024 East Coast Music Awards. Toney also received the 2025 Indigenous Artist Recognition Award from Arts Nova Scotia. His official 2026 calendar lists performances across Canada, including dates in Nova Scotia, Ontario, New Brunswick, British Columbia, and Alberta, confirming current activity. The official site, Ishkōdé Records, Apple Music, Spotify, ECMA, JUNO Awards, Arts Nova Scotia, Celtic Colours, MusicBrainz, and Wikidata converge on the same active artist and current Nova Scotia professional base.
