Missy D

This event is FREE and part of our Downtown Jazz Series.
Missy D is a bilingual and electrifyingly charismatic female emcee who has been flowing seamlessly in both French and English since age 11. Born in Rwanda, with roots in Côte d’Ivoire and Zimbabwe, she embodies the rich cultural diversity of the motherland as she blends hip-hop, R&B, soul, jazz, and rock, inspired by icons like Missy Elliott, MC Solaar, Lauryn Hill, and J. Cole.
Now based in Vancouver, Missy D is a force of nature. A proud member of Laydy Jams, she was named Francophone Artist of the Year in 2024 by the Western Canadian Music Awards, and was nominated again in 2025. Her dizzyingly-diverse sense of genre is matched by her stellar band featuring Yato Noukoussi (drums), Dave Taylor (guitar), Feven Kidane (bass), Nebyu Yohannes (trombone), and Sejal Lal (violin and vocals).
