Kalya Ramu, a renowned jazz vocalist and performer based in Toronto, has carved a distinctive presence within the city's vibrant jazz community. Known for her warm, dynamic voice, she draws inspiration from vocalists of the 1940s-60s including Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, and Sarah Vaughan. “Kalya has an uncanny ability to be completely authentic in the rich tradition of Jazz while sounding exactly like herself." (Ted Quinlan)Kalya’s debut album, Living in a Dream (2019), and subsequent release Duo (2021), both stand as testaments to her artistry and innovation in the genre. Her most recent release Trio (2024) earned widespread acclaim, with Midwest Book Review calling it “masterfully performed and recorded, immersive, and beautiful… highly recommended for vocal jazz connoisseurs.”
Kalya has shared the stage with several heavy-weight jazz musicians including Barry Harris, Reg Schwager, Brian Barlow, George Koller, and NYC trumpet player and vocalist Benny Benack III. She has been featured in Jazz festivals such as the TD Jazz, PEC Jazz Festival, Kensington Jazz, and Jazz Sudbury, and has graced the iconic stages of The Django (NYC), Ronnie Scotts (London), and Shablul Jazz Club (Tel Aviv).
