Yves Jarvis is the winner of the 2025 Polaris Music Prize. The singer-songwriter took home the award for his album All Cylinders, while Mustafa won the inaugural Polaris Song Prize for his Dunya track ‘Gaza Is Calling’. (The awards come with $30k and $10k, respectively, courtesy of Slaight Family Foundation and SOCAN.) All Cylinders beat out records by Marie Davidson, Saya Gray, The OBGMs, Population II, Ribbon Skirt, and more. The prizes were handed out last night at Toronto’s Massey Hall.
Last year, Jeremy Dutcher became the Polaris Music Prize’s first two-time winner, taking home the award for Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa.
