About
The Brazilian Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
Jerusa Leão, aka JER, creates an eclectic sound that challenges
preconceived notions of what constitutes traditional Brazilian music.
Beginning her musical career at a young age, JER grew up around the
semi-arid cities of Bahia, the magical Brazilian state known for music
and celebration. JER is a champion who survives off her own skill and
faith. Over the course of a decade she has cultivated several impressive
musical projects that span different genres and across continents. Her
participation in Toronto’s musical scene is something continuous and
wide reaching.
