Ori Dagan is a Toronto-based jazz singer-songwriter whose rich bass-baritone, inventive scat, and sharp lyrical wit craft a sound that's both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. A graduate of York University's Music Department, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of jazz—from his bold debut (S’Cat Got My Tongue), through the genre’s first visual album (Nathaniel: A Tribute to Nat King Cole), to his clever, socially attuned originals (Click Right Here) and the award-winning tribute (Going That Counts—for Ella). A recipient of numerous awards—including the Great American Song Contest Grand Prize and the John Lennon Songwriting Grand Prize—Dagan’s artistry is repeatedly celebrated by critics for its humor, creativity, and honest musicality. Beyond the stage, he's a dedicated community leader, educator, writer, and influencer, bridging tradition and innovation while nurturing jazz’s next generation.
