Sophie Milman, Jazz Vocalist
"The Norah Jones of the actual jazz world–Billboard charts and iTunes will confirm so."
New York Magazine
Milman, a native of Russia, who is fluent in Russian, Hebrew, French and English, was born in the Siberian town of Ufa and moved to the Israeli port city of Haifa when she was seven. At 16, her family moved to Canada and as a teenager she absorbed pop, jazz and gospel, her favorites being Mahalia Jackson, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Nat "King" Cole and, at the top of the list, Stevie Wonder. Her self-titled debut was released in 2004 and followed in 2007 by "Make Someone Happy" (Linus/Koch). In 2008, the Canadian singer performed around the globe, hitting landmark venues like the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and New York’s Blue Note club, sharing stages with the likes of Chick Corea, Chris Botti and the Manhattan Transfer. Her second album, "Make Someone Happy," won the Juno Award for Jazz Vocal Album of the Year after it topped the iTunes jazz chart in the U.S. and Canada for months and cracked the top 5 on Billboard’s jazz chart. JazzTimes referred to her as Canada’s hottest young jazz singer. NPR’s Weekend Edition praised her "classic jazz voice that evokes smoky lounges, softly clinking glasses and the cool of the night." DownBeat simply said, "she captivates." The Los Angeles Times raved, "the sky’s the limit for this exceptional young talent."
