about
*Please note: Tiiu is a very common Estonian name, and represents the work of many artists. This page is for a Canadian-born artist (with Estonian background) who works out of Toronto.* Tiiu, raised in the Ottawa Valley, now resides as a singer-songwriter in Toronto. Tiiu spent 2007 and 2008 recording “Shooting Stars, Blazing Hearts” at Rooster Studio with producer Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith, The Rheostatics) and longtime collaborator Michael Brooks. There are many special guests on the recording, including Serena Ryder and Ottawa darling, Meredith Luce. SSBH was released in October 2008 with the support of CBC Radio. The performance was taped and aired nationally on Radio 2’s Canada Live program. The album has since been featured and spun on all three CBC Radio stations, including “Next to You” being chosen as Radio 3’s Track of the Day. SSBH is also charting on campus radio in Ontario. Since the release, she has toured Ontario and Canada’s West Coast. 2009 will see a return to the West, as well as more extensive touring throughout Canada. In recent years, she has been invited to play Tulipfest, Eden Mills’ International Writer’s Festival and The Ottawa Folk Festival, where she was honoured with the Beth Ferguson Award for her songwriting. Tiiu continues to write songs and tour SSBH, and collaborate with friends whenever and wherever possible.
