"She is an exciting and unique talent, and I admire her greatly." - Sting

Canadian singer, songwriter, and pianist Laila Biali follows in the tradition of Canadian music giants like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Diana Krall, or Michael Bublé, where influences from jazz, soul, blues, folk, and pop naturally come together.

In her music, the precision and accessibility of pop blend impressively with the stylistic and playful openness of jazz. This fusion is evident in her compelling and highly diverse original compositions as well as her interpretations of songs by artists like Coldplay or David Bowie.

Laila Biali is a shining example of a generation of contemporary jazz musicians who combine ambition and accessibility in their music. For these musicians, "pure" jazz is already a contradiction in terms, and "jazz" primarily represents an extremely multifaceted music in which, apart from the polished mainstream format, real musicians and real composers present genuine, deep emotions. It's music full of passion and at the same time full of intelligence, played with soul and skill.

Just like the music of Laila Biali, she represents the new great jazz voice of North America
