Dami Im

As a long-time jazz enthusiast, experiencing Dami Im's performance at the Brisbane Jazz Club was an absolute dream come true! Before her rise to fame, Dami graced the stage at BJC's Jazz Singers' Jam Nights while pursuing her Masters in Contemporary Voice. Watching her return to these roots and perform a repertoire of jazz standards and her own songs in jazz arrangements was nothing short of extraordinary—a bucket list moment realised with immense joy! Dami is widely celebrated for her powerful belting high-register vocals, but it is her golden tone in the soft, low register, enriched with stunning vibrato, that truly defines her jazz performances. This aspect of her voice, often showcased in her jazz renditions, gives me goosebumps, evoking a profound emotional response that's indescribable! Her recent Jazz, Soul, and Blues tour, although brief and exclusively held in Brisbane (at least for now), was an electrifying experience. After experiencing burnout the previous year, this tour provided Dami with a refreshing opportunity to take it slow, performing songs she genuinely enjoys alongside her incredibly talented band. The atmosphere felt like an intimate jam session, with the musicians clearly relishing every moment, their joy palpable and infectious. It was a privilege to witness this remarkable performance. If Dami ever embarks on another jazz tour, (or any tour for that matter) it is an absolute must-see for any music lover. Her ability to blend technical prowess with heartfelt emotion makes her performances an experience of a lifetime. Don't miss out—it's a musical journey that will leave you exhilarated and longing for more!
