Jordana Talsky is a versatile Toronto-based vocalist, songwriter, and performer whose work spans solo vocal looping, jazz, soul, indie-pop, rock-funk, and collaborative ensemble projects. Equally at home leading a loop-based solo set, performing with small ensembles, or arranging her compositions for choirs and vocal groups, she creates dynamic, voice-driven performances that blend original songs with inventive reinterpretations of diverse repertoire.

Jordana began her musical training with the Canadian Children’s Opera Chorus, performing with the Canadian Opera Company and other ensembles. She later studied voice (opera) at the Claude Watson Arts Program and McGill University, where she performed with the a cappella group Effusion and appeared in Gilbert and Sullivan productions with the Savoy Society. Early experiences in musical theatre, choral singing, and a cappella shaped her strong foundation in harmony, arrangement, and expressive storytelling. During her university years in London, Ontario, she began singing regularly at a local jazz club, sparking her interest in improvisation and jazz repertoire.

After returning to Toronto, Jordana performed widely throughout the city and went on to release Standard Deviation, Neither of Either, and Zahava—an EP of original looping-based compositions showcasing her innovative approach to vocal layering and sound design. Her work has been recognized in the CBC Searchlight Contest, the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition, and the Julian Award for Emerging Canadian Artists.

Jordana has toured across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, with performances at festivals and showcases including SingStrong Festival (New York), Toronto Jazz Festival, Summerfest (Milwaukee), Live at Heart (Sweden), Soulshine Festival, and numerous others. She also leads workshops in vocal looping, creative process, and contemporary vocal performance, sharing her approach to expanding the expressive possibilities of the human voice.

Known for her inventive use of live looping technology and her ability to bridge genres, Jordana continues to develop interdisciplinary collaborations with choirs, vocal ensembles, and festival communities. Her work foregrounds creative exploration, sonic experimentation, and the power of the human voice to build immersive, engaging musical experiences.
