Canada's Premier Artist Development Program
After an incredibly successful 10-year run, the Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class wrapped its final season at the 2025 JUNO Awards in Vancouver. More than a mentorship program, it became a true launchpad for Canada’s next generation of rising stars.
Over the course of a decade, the program mentored 37 emerging artists, 11 of whom went on to become JUNO Award Nominees with 20 Nominations and FIVE became JUNO Award winners. We are incredibly proud of the program’s impact and deeply grateful to Slaight Music for their generous support and unwavering partnership throughout the years.
As CARAS continues to evolve, we remain committed to nurturing the next generation of talent. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Please stay tuned for what’s next.
