The Artist
Versatile vocalist and well rounded musician Narissa Young has spent her life exploring through the musical lens from her home base in Nanaimo BC on Canada’s rugged west coast. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, she innovates with each new project. Adopted into a non-musical family only fuelled her passion for making music beginning with jazz studies and many interesting stops since then.
Her first album as singer/songwriter “So Far” released digitally in 2011, now followed by her 2020 recording “Fever at Studio Live” working closely with Nanaimo pianist Scott Arkell as well as several Vancouver Island musicians for quintet tracks. Her love for jazz and recent performances in Greece inspired this self produced album which was recorded live in Cumberland on Vancouver Island with Rick Kilburn as engineer.
Never one to underestimate the healing power of music to connect people and inspire transformation, Narissa’s journey continues as she works towards a degree in vibrational healing and considers it a tremendous honour to be a musician.
“There are endless possibilities to participate as an artist and share music with the world. It's all about connection.”
Narissa Young
