AprilRaye + Musician in Toronto, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

My primary musical preference is Jazz, however my musical interest and experiences are quite diversed. I have close to a 3 octave range, and can dynamically alter my voice to suite different vocal styles.

For the longest time I sang only rock, pop and country. In the past several years I have become much more drawn to more Adult Contemporary music, singing traditional standards. My interest is now in Jazz, with the influences of Latin / Pop / Funk & Blues!

I am looking at collaborating with other songwriters and musicians influenced by the same.
