Artist: Laila Biali

Grammy nominee Laila Biali, a Canadian singer-songwriter, has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents from New York City’s Carnegie Hall to Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts, and supported international icon Sting. Laila’s signature sound transcends genres. She masterfully mixes jazz and pop, bringing virtuosity and unpredictability to songs that are concise and catchy. Her highly anticipated seasonal album, Wintersongs, was nominated for a 2025 JUNO Award and a 2026 GRAMMY alongside Lady Gaga, Barbra Streisand, Elton John & Brandi Carlile. Biali’s voice, spanning registers, is pure and warm. She’s also fearless on piano and, above all, in her imagination. She provides the positive, come-together messaging we need in these challenging times.
