CerAmony is Canadian duo band of Cree origin from James Bay area. The duo is made up of Matthew Iserhoff (as lead vocals) and Pakesso Mukash (guitar and vocals). The band's name, CerAmony is written with a capital A denoting the shape of a sacred ceremonial tent. The idea came to Pakesso upon waking up from a dream one day. Both Mukash and Iserhoff agreed that it was a perfect name in the universal aspect that every race, religion and creed have ceremonies. The logo was designed by Natazia Mukash (Pakesso's sister and Matthew's wife).[1]
Their debut was in 2002 with strong roots in Native American spiritual beliefs, yet honoring all other faiths. In 2003, they appeared in CBC's "True North Concert" and also played at the Canadian Aboriginal Awards both in 2003 and 2004. The documentary film determiNATION by Paul M. Rickard and Michelle Smith, featured them in the film with other First Nation acts like Samian, Cheri and Maracle.[2]
The debut single was "First Son", followed by the successful "The Last Great Men".
