Josh Sahunta is the grand prize winner of Corus’ national Summer Song Contest.The singer/songwriter wrote the song specifically for the contest, which called on Canadian singers, bands and musicians to send in their original song for a chance to take home $20,000.Sahunta said his original song was a bit of a cheeky take on the unusual summer Canadians have experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.“It’s been a bit of an odd year.
I didn’t want to write a song that was talking about traveling or the typical things you would do in the summer,” he said. “I tried to write a song that’s relevant to the world right now.”Lyrics include “20/20 eyesight wasn’t what I thought it ever would’ve looked like” and “this summer really was a surprise”. .
