My Biography

Katrina Van Humbeck, a life-long musician and educator of more than two decades, began songwriting after the loss of her mother in 2016, and she never stopped. Her music embodies jazz/ classical/ musical theatre sensibilities, and is inspired by the themes of love, courage and faith. This Western Canadian Music Awards Nominee (2020 Spiritual Artist of the Year), delivers her music with powerful vocals, yet full of subtle nuances.

She recently released her third full-length album, Stronger Still, in April 2022 at the CCFM (Culturel Centre Franco-manitobain), in Winnipeg, MB., to a wonderful and well receiving audience. As is the case for her previous two albums, Doing A New Thing (2018), and her debut, Blue & Beyond (2017), all of Katrina’s music maintains her signature blend of genres and reflects influences of the Jazz greats.

She hopes that listeners will relate to her music personally, and are moved to experience life in a fuller way. Whether she is performing solo, in a trio, or with a full ten-piece band, she delights in entertaining audiences with her original music, and classic jazz / soul standards.

Katrina possesses a B.A Hon (Theatre /Music performance) from the University of Winnipeg, and a B.Ed (Theatre / Music) from the University of Manitoba.
