Montreal-based, JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter, Dominique Fils-Aimé [FEES-em-AY] recently completed an ambitious album trilogy conceptualizing the history of African American music, reflecting on the social realities that influenced the genres of blues, jazz and soul.
Dominique’s career blossomed when her FACTOR-funded sophomore album, “Stay Tuned!”, received a write-up on Radio Canada’s Jazz Revelation. “Stay Tuned!” was then shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, won the JUNO for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, and was featured among the nineteen best Canadian albums of 2019 by CBC. Her debut, “Nameless” is used as a reference recording for audiophiles across the world and was showcased at High End Munich and AXPONA. And most recently, “Three Little Words”, her second FACTOR-funded recording, also made the Polaris Shortlist, claimed the #1 spot for best selling album in Quebec and hit #2 in Canada, with over three hundred media mentions worldwide.
With FACTOR’s generous support, Dominique Fils-Aimé has toured in both Canada and the U.S. and has upcoming European tours this fall (2021) and winter (2022).
