Critically acclaimed Canadian-Bulgarian jazz vocalist, composer and poet Gergana Velinova creates original music where sophisticated jazz artistry meets unforgettable melody and lyrical depth. Described by the Toronto Sun as “the honey-voiced vocalist,” she has earned recognition for crafting songs that balance emotional honesty, poetic storytelling, and timeless appeal.

Drawing inspiration from jazz, bossa nova, jazz-pop, and art song, Gergana’s compositions move fluidly across genres while remaining rooted in memorable melodies and the shared human experience. Critics have praised her rare ability to write original music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Holding a Master of Arts in Voice Performance from the Longy School of Music in Boston, Gergana has performed internationally and collaborated with Grammy- and Juno-nominated artists. Her seventh album, Free (Cellar Music Group), showcases an artist whose songs settle into the heart long before the mind has caught up.
