Dominique Fils-Aimé is a JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter from Montreal who puts the history of African-American musical culture into the heart of her work. Her new show invites you to delve into the roots of her soul with a strong desire to connect with one’s higher self, and the intention of enveloping you in a soothing aural embrace.

On stage, whether in Canada (double bill with Allison Russell, Toronto’s Koerner Hall), in Europe (opening acts for Melody Gardot, Diana Krall and Ibrahim Maalouf), Dominique Fils-Aimé’s magnetic presence on stage leads the audience on a transcendent journey.
