Lynn Olagundoye

In an age of increasingly technological and synthetic music, Calgary singer-songwriter Lynn Olagundoye is something to be treasured. Wise beyond her 25 years, Olagundoye has a perfect voice for soul and R&B, and marries it to a sound that incorporates the best of funk, jazz, Afrobeat, roots-reggae and vintage pop. With her precocious talent and knack for writing catchy melodies and appealing lyrics, it wasn’t long before a recording contract materialized. The result, 2006’s African Violet, is the perfect calling card for a wonderful, fresh-sounding singer looking forward to a great career. Her JazzFest debut is your chance to say “I heard her when.”
“A flawless, undiscovered and world class singer . . . Miss O and her band are pure magic.” –Winnipeg Free Press
