Sophia Perlman has made a name for herself as one of Canada’s most promising young vocalists. Her musical maturity and impressive ability as an improviser has made her a first call not only as a bandleader but also as a frequent guest with many of Toronto’s top musicians and ensembles.

“Perlman’s approach is all at once soulful, gut-wrenching, funky and provocative” -Leslie Mitchell-Clarke, The WholeNote Magazine

Sophia was the featured vocalist with The Vipers, whose November 2011 release has been widely played on JazzFM, and CBC.

Sophia received a JUNO award with bassist Brandi Disterheft’s first album “Debut” (Best Traditional Jazz Album). She shared a JUNO nomination with on Adrean Farrugia’s “Ricochet” (BestContemporary Jazz Album).

Recent releases include performances with the Darcy Hepner Jazz Orchestra and The Toronto Jazz Orchestra, and in September 2012, she released a new album with long-time collaborator Adrean Farrugia, “Alive at Musidem”.
