“Champian is the most gifted pure jazz singer of her generation” Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press

The charismatic New York vocalist and pianist is the talk of Manhattan and shines radiant through her talent and artistic maturity. In spite of her young age, Champian has the lived in voice that gives authority to all the classics and standards, and has played with such masters as Jimmy Cobb, Frank Wess, Lou Donaldson, Louis Hayes and Buster Williams.

Her recent album "Change Partners" presents some extracts of a concert recorded in May 2014 at the Yardbird Suite in Edmonton, Canada. Her crowd-pleasing, effortless and award-nominated voice is supported by equally impressive piano chops (quite a feat when featured simultaneously), along with a killer backing band. This is the type of traditional vocal/piano jazz that never goes out of style.
