Award-winning Canadian Jazz pianist, vocalist and songwriter Laila Biali has toured with Chris Botti, Paula Cole and Suzanne Vega, and recorded with and supported Sting.

Laila has presented her music at prestigious venues spanning five continents including the North Sea Jazz Festival, Tokyo's Cotton Club, Peru's El Festival Internacional de Lima, and Carnegie Hall in New York City. Her latest studio recording, Tracing Light, received a JUNO nomination for "2011 Best Vocal Jazz Album of the Year" and her most recent release, Live in Concert, received an enthusiastic 4-star review in DownBeat Magazine and was named one of the “Best Albums of 2013.”
