Tia Brazda

One of Canada’s most recognizable voices in jazz, Tia Brazda’s jazz-pop gems and retro style have established her as a sparkling presence on the jazz scene, both at home and abroad. Not only a singer but a songwriter as well, Brazda has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, main stage at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, as well as toured many times across North America and Europe, from intimate supper clubs to large outdoor festivals. Her music has been described as a “hip pastiche” and a “walking catalog of 20th century jazz styles”. Her first release, the EP “Cabin Fever” broke through in 2012 and she followed that up with the 2015 full-length Bandshell, named as one of the best of the last decade in the Italian press and one of the best of the year by Jazz FM 91 in Toronto. Her 2018 release Daydream saw her exploring new grooves such as bossa nova, soul and tango. Her latest album WHEN I GET LOW finds her delving into the past, interpreting well-known classics from the Great American Songbook and making them her own. It was featured on Radio France and in Jazzwise Magazine (UK), with The Wholenote Magazine saying: "You won’t find another singer who vocalizes music quite like Tia Brazda...she has a fully formed style that is wholly her own." The track ‘Smile’ also has over 1 million streams since its release.
