Denzal Sinclaire In addition to his talents as a pianist, percussionist and actor, Denzal Sinclaire is one of Canada’s most popular jazz vocalists and is ranked among the finest jazz singers of his generation. From the moment he steps on stage, he seems to naturally and effortlessly evoke a profound emotional interaction with his audience, touching the listener with his passionate and sincere delivery and the purity of the message in every song he sings. Sinclaire is a multiple nominee of the Juno Award, a recipient of the 2004 National Jazz Award for Best Album, four-time consecutive recipient of Jazz Report Magazine Award for Male Jazz Vocalist and a recipient of France’s 2007 Choc Jazzman Award. From his early days as a canny interpreter of Nat King Cole’s mentholated crooning, Sinclaire has grown into one of the most distinctive and individualistic singers anywhere. He has graced the stages of numerous concert halls and festivals around the world and has appeared on several TV shows, including Canada’s Bravo!TV, Canada AM, Nashville Now and Ireland’s The Late Late Show. He has also appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Manu Katché’s show in France, One Shot Not. Additional television and film credits include appearances in the new Battlestar Gallactica and Being Julia, starring Annette Bening and Jeremy Irons.
