Canadian singer Sass Jordan owes her roots to growing up in the flourishing music scene in the 70s in Montreal which included an in-your-face eclectic mix of glam, punk, blues, prog, metal, country, jazz and folk.

Her first single “Tell Somebody” from her self-titled debut won her a Juno Award in 1989 for Most Promising Female Vocalist.
