Free, fun, and full of emotion, Dizzy & Fay is a songwriting duo featuring pianist Mark Lalama and vocalist Amanda Walther. Their melodies are fresh yet familiar, drawing listeners into their whimsical world with every original composition. With a one-of-a-kind take on the classic jazz sound, Dizzy & Fay deliver 100% original music that is as heartfelt as it is captivating.Regularly touring throughout Quebec and Ontario, Dizzy & Fay have been building a passionate audience, one show at a time. This spring, they’re excited to expand westward, with performances at The Bassment in Saskatoon and the Yardbird Suite in Edmonton.
Based in Southern Ontario, the duo has released two full-length albums, earning extensive airplay on jazz radio stations across the United States and Canada. Their latest album, Hooked, received glowing praise from Wholenote Magazine, describing the pair as “highly musical tunesmiths and storytellers,” while their 2021 song “I Knew It Was Love” was an official selection at the London Music Video Awards.
Dizzy & Fay’s unique blend of artistry stems from their rich musical backgrounds. Mark Lalama, a songwriter, pianist, and producer from Fenwick, has performed across North America and collaborated with some of Canada’s most renowned jazz artists, including Jackie Richardson, Marc Jordan, Guido Basso, and Molly Johnson. Amanda Walther, a Juno-nominated singer-songwriter from Toronto, is celebrated for her emotive compositions, including the soundtrack for the LGBTQ+ film Walk With Me, which earned her multiple international awards for Best Composer and Best Soundtrack.
