  The Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class is developed in partnership with Slaight Music and Canada’s Music Incubator (CMI). Each year, three artists are selected, and the experience aims to cultivate new talent through networking, collaboration opportunities, and curated mentorship. This year’s selected artists will be joined by the winner of CBC Music’s Searchlight, CBC’s annual nation-wide search to find the next great Canadian artist.
