Edie Daponte is an award-winning music artist who brings passion, playfulness and an evident love of performance to her live shows. Edie has established a reputation in the music scene of Vancouver Island and Western Canada as a dynamic and engaging performer. A regular performer in both her hometown of Sidney - as the house singer for the Beacon Landing - and jazz clubs in Victoria. Edie has also performed at festivals including the Victoria International Jazz Festival and Vancouver Latin Festival. Her powerful but silky-smooth voice lends itself perfectly to a range of jazz standards and cabaret numbers. You can feel Edie’s love of music and rhythm as she moves seamlessly from bossa nova to jazz and back again, switching between Portuguese, Spanish and French language numbers effortlessly.
