The Canadian jazz singer and pianist discusses the inspiration behind her latest record
The Juno-winning Canadian jazz singer Laila Biali is back with a new album, Wintersongs, which was inspired by some time she spent in Banff. She says the album brings her back to her roots as a classical pianist — a path that was cut short after a car accident changed her life at 15. Biali sits down with Q's Tom Power to talk about the record, how it blends different sides of herself, and a difficult new challenge she's facing in both her life and music.
