Julian added, “Even though The Beatles’ songs sound, you know, simple, there's always a hidden meaning in there. And that's what I really loved about it,” Julian says. “I had to really do it very carefully so that I got the message, the original message across in the Mi’kmaq.”
Stevens and Julian are both members of the Eskasoni First Nation. The community has developed a school and music program which didn't exist when Julian was Stevens’ age.
