Shakura S’Aida
- Blues, Roots, Soul
FMO 2023 Album of the Year recipient, Shakura S’Aida, is an acclaimed Americana roots soul singer/songwriter and Schitt’s Creek recurring actor and has thrilled global audiences in over 30 countries with her exciting and dynamic showmanship.
The Summerfolk 49 Festival has raved about the Toronto, Canada- based S’Aida’s “engaging, vivacious and exciting” performing style and her uncanny ability “to touch your soul,” while Donna Grantis (Prince, 3rd Eye Girl), her longtime co-producer and co-writer, praises the Brooklyn-born, Swiss-raised, three-time Juno Award nominee (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy) as a “powerhouse vocalist whose artistic vision continually inspires me. Her captivating live shows bring people together to celebrate life and love.”
The 2024 recipient of the prestigious SOCAN Foundation’s “Her Music” Award stays committed to connecting community through music with concert tours, curated workshops-including her “Authentic Stage Workshop” and concert programming. S’Aida says,”Music is a great connector, I use it to uplift and remind people that they’re not alone; that we’re all part of the same great community.”
