Dominique Fils-Aimé

About

The artist

Dominique Fils-Aimé is a Montreal singer-songwriter and vocal arranger whose work explores freedom, healing, memory, and connection through jazz, blues, soul, and layered voice. Born and raised in Montreal in a Haitian family, she first reached a broad Quebec audience through La Voix before establishing an independent recording career. Nameless, Stay Tuned!, and Three Little Words formed an initial trilogy tracing histories and emotional currents within African-American music. Three Little Words won the 2022 JUNO Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year and appeared on the 2021 Polaris Music Prize short list. Our Roots Run Deep opened a new trilogy in 2023 and won both the 2024 JUNO for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year and the 2024 Félix for Jazz Album of the Year. Her 2025 live album captured an expanded vocal and instrumental performance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. My World Is The Sun, released in February 2026, continues the newer trilogy with music shaped by light, family, spiritual freedom, and collective resonance. Her official bilingual site documents a 2026 international tour and a current Montreal International Jazz Festival appearance. Current location is independently confirmed by a 2025 CMRRA professional profile and a 2025 radio interview, both identifying Fils-Aimé as Montreal-based, while the City of Montreal presents her as a Montreal singer-songwriter in its 2026 program. Spotify, Apple Music, MusicBrainz, and the official site resolve to the same artist and official six-album discography; a conflicting MusicBrainz release assigned after My World Is The Sun was excluded from the catalog summary because it does not match the candidate's official or Spotify chronology. Exact English and French payloads, including contact instructions, were reviewed before approval, only public professional routing is exposed, Spotify media remains live and provider-attributed, and the profile is sourced and unclaimed.
