Cayla Brooke
InterContinental Music Awards Winner
2024 – Best of America | Jazz
Cayla Brooke is a dynamic jazz/rock artist based in Alberta, Canada, known for her powerful voice and emotional depth. Her music channels the soulful essence of Eva Cassidy, the intensity of Janis Joplin, and the powerful vocal presence of Barbra Streisand.
Cayla’s musical journey began in Vancouver. After a decade-long hiatus due to personal loss, she found renewed inspiration through the music of Eva Cassidy. This pivotal moment led to her critically acclaimed tribute to Cassidy and the release of her debut album, “Plush Red Chair,” at 55.
Praised by No Depression Magazine as “the real deal” and described by Jazz Corner as a “distinctive and one-of-a-kind performer,” Cayla’s work has resonated deeply with audiences. Now residing in Alberta, she is working on her second album, “Simplicity,” which emphasizes musical authenticity.
An award-winning songwriter and a finalist in an international songwriting competition, Cayla’s journey is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of music.
