Miriam Altman

Miriam Altman is a South African-Canadian vocalist, songwriter and producer creating contemporary vocal jazz shaped by soul, poetry and African rhythmic influence. Her music is intimate, rhythmic and emotionally open, bringing together carefully crafted songs, expressive improvisation and the power of a richly emotive three-octave range. Drawing on a classical vocal foundation and a life lived across continents, Miriam’s sound moves between jazz, soul, blues and storytelling. The Butterfly Project is her debut album, released on 18 Sept 2026. Working with exceptional South African jazz musicians, the album explores longing, resilience and transformation through songs that move from quiet reflection to fuller, more urgent expression. The Butterfly Project Live in Concert offer exhilarating performance in Johannesburg 10 Oct and in Cape Town 05 Nov. More to come!
