Dominique Fils-Aimé

Rising star in vocal jazz, Dominique Fils-Aimé presents her fourth album ‘Our Roots Run Deep’ released in September 2023 on Ensoul Records. Dominique Fils-Aimé is a two-time JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter from Montreal who puts the history of African-American musical culture into the heart of her work. Her new show invites you to delve into the roots of her soul with a strong desire to connect with one’s higher self, and the intention of enveloping you in a soothing aural embrace.

On stage, whether in Canada (double bill with Allison Russell, Toronto’s Koerner Hall), in Europe (opening acts for Melody Gardot, Diana Krall and Ibrahim Maalouf), Dominique Fils-Aimé’s magnetic presence on stage leads the audience on a transcendent journey.

In her fourth album entitled Our Roots Run Deep, Dominique Fils-Aimé frames her latest installment with a loose, dreamlike narrative structure that tells a story of growth. For Dominique, nature acts as an anchor—a source of inspiration that provides her with metaphors to express the unique but interconnected journey of a human being.

“Just as we cannot see the mycorrhizal network that allows trees in a forest to communicate with each other underground,” says Dominique, “I believe our souls do the same and that music can be a fertilizer for this invisible communication network.”
