Tanika Charles 🇨🇦

Two-time JUNO Awards R&B/Soul Recording of the Year nominee and three-time Polaris Music Prize long-list nominee Tanika Charles is synonymous with Canadian Soul music. She has embraced the sound and aesthetic of the genre without gimmick, whilst pushing the boundaries of what audiences can expect. Her music revels in honesty and attitude, her live show is high energy and endearing, and she continues to organically win audiences over one album, one stream, and one encore at a time. Tanika is an Edmonton-raised first generation Trinidadian Canadian residing in Toronto, but she is most at home on the stage. She embarked on her first cross Canada tour in 2016 and began performing internationally in 2017. Since then, she has performed in over 150 cities across 10 countries ranging from headlining club dates, main stage festival slots, and even moving trains. Her full band live show consists of both faithful recreations of her studio recordings as well as genre-warping reinterpretations revealing her rock, gospel and even country influences.
