Tanya Wills is the granddaughter of two opera singers, She knew from the very beginning that she would be an artist. Tanya grew up immersed in music and theatre and began her artistic career as a dancer. With formal training in Dance, she spent many hours in a dance studio accompanying ballet classes on piano. Tanya graduated from Theatre School, where she developed her skills as a 'triple threat' with a major focus on voice. She went on to study voice classically in Toronto and developed her distinct mezzo sound and style.
Tanya's rich and expressive voice became her hallmark as she went on to work with many Swing and Big Bands. Known for dynamic performance and great vocal technique, Tanya has also played the iconic lead roles of so many classic Musicals – Eva Peron (Evita), Peter Pan, Adelaide (Guys and Dolls) to name a few.
Tanya is at the front of Toronto's Wintergarten Orchestra. Singing in English, German and French, she delivers exciting Cabaret pieces from the 20's and 30's with a richness of storytelling that sets her apart.
With the TANYA WILLS QUARTET she brings her sensual and evocative sound to the stage with three of her favourite master musicians, Bill Bridges, Jordan Klapman and Ron Johnston. Tanya's repertoire ranges from European Cabaret to the Great American Songbook to contemporary pieces, including original works.
