Traditionally, Adrian Sutherland made an effort to not be so politically charged in his approach to writing music.

That changed when he released his debut solo single, Politician Man.

The song was born out of long standing issues in Sutherland’s home community of Attawapiskat and the frustrations of trying to raise a family on the First Nation in northern Ontario.
