Soraiya

Over the last seven years Soraiya has trained in Canada as an opera singer, played in a jazz-rock fusion band (CHOP) in Edinburgh, and studied jazz and music production. While living in London last year she recorded an album (FIND ME THERE) with legendary guitarist Ant Law. 

Since August 2007, Soraiya has been gigging in LA, Vancouver, NYC, and London. She is also working with producer Chin Injeti (who is currently producing Kinnie Starr, Hot Hot Heat, The Killers, Esthero, and The New Royales) and plans to release an EP of new tunes in the near future. In her other life, Soraiya is completing a Masters in Dispute Resolution and working as a mediator. 

Recent review: 
“The first songstress of the evening, Soraiya, a pixie-like Canadian native opened her set with strong, bluesy chords engulfing the light overhead and making it her own. She illustrated wonderful vocal range with the gentle “And The Spring”, hitting such wide variations that I couldn’t help but imagine her in the bright lights of Broadway. Not only was Soraiya on point in English, she also harmonized in Spanish causing the savvy ears of the musicians sitting near me to state “Wow, she’s good.” - Amy June, Cafe Cordiale
