We’re proud to be a launchpad for Canadian artists who find global fanbases, jumpstart their careers and share their voices on TikTok. Today, TikTok has become an integral component of the Canadian music industry and we’re honoured to be a trusted partner that helps artists find audiences and build careers, which is why we’re excited to announce our continued participation in The 2023 JUNO Awards and partnership with the Canadian Academy of Recording Artists and Sciences (CARAS).

For the third year in a row, we’re returning as a Lead Sponsor of the JUNOS and title sponsor of TikTok JUNO Fan Choice, including being the official voting platform for the award. TikTok JUNO Fan Choice is the sole fan-voted award category, where Canadian music fans will select the winner.

This year, TikTok JUNO Fan Choice includes 10 contenders, with six first-time nominees in the category and Canadian icons like Avril Lavigne, as well as Shawn Mendes and The Weeknd, both nominated in this category for the eighth year in a row.
