Born in Toronto, the Indie Swing chanteuse Denielle Bassels‘s music is a powerful melange of jazz manouche, blues, folk and pop delivered with a strong and unique voice as sweet as Doris Day, but that can also launch into the ferocity of Big Mama Thornton.
Her first album “What About Wool Wishbags,” was voted top 5 in 2017 by Terry McElligot of JAZZ.FM91 and seven of her songs won songwriting awards, “Cool Cool Water” garnering Grand Prize in the John Lennon Song Competition. With “Little Bit a’ Love”, launched in June 2023, Denielle Bassels features her natural penchant for storytelling while weaving seamlessly elements of folk, swing, jazz and blues.
