Her debut LP, BRIA, which was released in 2016 won the 2017 Canadian Juno Award (Canada’s version of The GRAMMYs®) for “Vocal Jazz Album” of the year. A self-described “small town girl” from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Skonberg hightailed it to Vancouver straight out of high school and earned a degree in Jazz Trumpet Performance. To date, she has performed at some 100 festivals worldwide.
