Denielle Bassels

Toronto-born, Indie Swing chanteuse Denielle Bassels is a rising star on the Canadian jazz scene. Her music is a powerful melange of jazz manouche, blues, folk and pop delivered with a strong and unique voice that packs solid heart punches. A voice as sweet as Doris Day can also launch into the ferocity of Big Mama Thornton and back, never leaving you to forget that it's Denielle you're hearing. Mix that with a natural penchant for storytelling and you have a winning combo that leaves the audience wanting more … and more!

Denielle Bassels first album of original songs, "What About Wool Wishbags," was voted top 5 albums of 2017 by Terry McElligot of JAZZ.FM91 and seven of the eleven songs went on to win songwriting awards, "Cool Cool Water" garnering Grand Prize in the John Lennon Song Competition. With her new album "Little Bit a' Love», Bassels speaks directly to our heart with her modus operandi signature of seamlessly weaving elements of folk, swing and blues.
