Ori Dagan [1](born June 8, 1981) is a jazz singer-songwriter based in Toronto, Canada. He has released four studio albums, including "Click Right Here" (2022),[2] which marked his European debut at the Skopje Summer Festival in Macedonia.[3] The album received positive reviews for its blend of contemporary lyrics and traditional jazz instrumentation. Additionally, Dagan's collaboration with rapper Erik Flow on the song "Viruses" earned him the Grand Prize from the Great American Song Contest.[4] Over the years, Dagan has released a total of eighteen music videos, including twelve videos accompanying Nathaniel: A Tribute to Nat King Cole, as well as "Googleable" (2012), "Bad Romance" (2012), and "Clap on the 2 and the 4" (2016). Dagan has showcased his talents at various festivals and events worldwide, such as SXSW, TD Toronto Jazz Festival, Canadian Music Week, Jazz Sudbury Festival and TanJazz.

Early life

Born in Haifa, Israel, Dagan grew up playing classical piano. He moved to Toronto with his family at the age of eight.[5][6] When he gave up classical piano at age sixteen, Dagan turned to writing poetry before Ella Fitzgerald’s scat solos inspired him to pursue jazz.[7] He began his singing career by performing at jam sessions around Toronto around 2000, including sessions at The Rex Hotel, The Poor Alex Theatre and regularly at Lisa Particelli’s Girls Night Out jazz jam.[8]

Education

Dagan’s first mentor in jazz was saxophonist Bob Mover, with whom he spent several years studying privately.[9] In 2002, after two years of studying English Literature at the University of Toronto, he pursued a BFA at York University, studying jazz vocals and classical voice, graduating in 2007. Dagan furthered his musical education by spending two additional years studying songwriting and performance at Humber College’s music program.[10]

Musical collaborations

Dagan’s debut album, S’Cat Got My Tongue, showcased the talent of 15 musicians, including duets with Toronto-based vocalists Heather Bambrick, Terra Hazelton, Julie Michels, and Sophia Perlman. His sophomore album, Less Than Three <3, featured guest appearances by multi-instrumentalist Jane Bunnett and the Eric St-Laurent Trio. Nathaniel: A Tribute to Nat King Cole features Bunnett, as well as duets with Alex Pangman and Sheila Jordan. Dagan collaborated with JUNO-winning Canadian Dance Vocalist Simone Denny to record a jazz rendition of The Buggles' classic, "Video Killed the Radio Star", which serves as a bonus track on his 2022 album Click Right Here.
