Katrina Van Humbeck is a storytelling singer / songwriter, composer, piano player, and educator based in Winnipeg, MB. She performs classic jazz standards, contemporary, traditional, and gospel music with powerful vocals, yet full of subtle nuances.. Her music has earned her nominations with the GMA Canada Awards 2022 (Jazz Artist of The Year), and with the Western Canadian Music Awards 2020 (Spiritual Artist of The Year).
Katrina has three studio recorded albums of original songs to her credit: her third album, Stronger Still (2022). her sophomore album, Doing A New Thing (2018). and her debut album, Blue & Beyond (2017). all of which reflect influences of the jazz greats,her prowess in theatrical performance, and her background in various musical genres
Katrina is geared to be recording her first collection of jazz standards, scheduled to release as singles in 2024. She views this as her 'jazz debut' on the Winnipeg music scene, as her previous recordings have all been original compositions.
Katrina started songwriting after the death of her mother in 2016 and she never stopped. Her music is inspired by the themes of love, courage, faith, and living life. She hopes that her listeners will relate to her music personally and are moved to experience life in a fuller way.
