Leading artists and organizations were celebrated for their work in creating and promoting art and culture in this year’s edition of the Toronto Arts Foundation‘s annual awards.
The winner of the award for emerging jazz artist in 2021 was vocalist, composer and bandleader Joanna Majoko.
“I just want to thank you all so much. I did not expect this to happen,” Majoko said. “Thank you to my nominator. Thank you for believing in me.”
Over the years, Majoko has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting young singers, sharing the stage with artists such as Jane Bunnett, Larnell Lewis and David Clayton-Thomas. She has performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals, including the Montreal Jazz Festival.
