WINNIPEG, CAN. (THECOUNT) — Pop singer, Kelly Fraser, has been found dead. She was 26.

Fraser, who was born in Sanikiluaq, NT, was living in Winnipeg when she died.

Her Facebook page has been turned into a memorialized account.

She first made waves with a cover of a Rihanna song sung in Inuktitut posted online in 2013 that has been viewed more than 380,000 times.

Fraser released her first album “Isuma” in 2014. Her second album “Sedna,” which came out in 2017, was nominated for a Juno for Indigenous Music Album of the Year.
