Bio

Anita Tong is a soul and jazz vocalist whose intimate, late-night sound has made her a fixture at weddings, private events, and listening-room venues across Ontario and Quebec. From the piano bench, she reimagines jazz standards and soul classics with a closeness that turns any room into a candlelit lounge, performing in English, French, and Chinese.

Available solo, as a duo, or with a full band, Anita brings a timeless repertoire and a professional, easy-to-work-with presence to every booking — from quiet ceremonies to full dance floors.
