Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, pianist, and national radio host Laila Biali has headlined festivals and venues on five continents. Winner of a Juno award, and a 2026 Grammy nominee (alongside Lady Gaga, Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Hudson and Laufey), Laila has worked with Chris Botti and Sting. When not on stage or in the studio, Biali is busy hosting CBC Music’s national radio show, ”Saturday Night Jazz,” a weekly program broadcast to millions across Canada. Though she continues to earn high honors in the jazz world, Laila’s signature sound transcends genre.
