Jeliz (Jill Zadeh) is excited to return to the Jazz Room following a well-received show last season, for another unforgettable evening of soul/R&B covers and originals, including her latest releases!
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, her journey took a pivotal turn in Los Angeles, where her powerhouse vocals landed her a place on tour with Janet Jackson. That breakout moment led to years of performing and recording with some of the industry’s biggest names, including Christina Aguilera, Maroon 5, Brandy, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Sting, and three seasons of NBC’s The Voice. While her voice became a fixture behind the scenes, Jeliz always knew she had something more to say.
In 2022, she took a leap—relocating to Toronto to launch her solo career and dive into the city’s vibrant, multicultural music scene. Her debut single ‘Good Old-Fashioned Love’ arrived in April 2024, offering a rich blend of R&B, funk, and pop, and introducing the world to her heartfelt storytelling and magnetic voice. Since then, Jeliz has continued to release music that resonates. Her follow-up singles ‘In The Shadows’ and ‘My Heart Won’t Change Its Mind ‘further showcase her emotional depth and vocal versatility. In 2025, she unveiled ‘Yoni’ and ‘Catch Me’, promising yet another powerful chapter in her evolving sound.
Jeliz is no longer the voice in the background—she’s the artist at centre stage, ready to connect, inspire, and shine.
