“Anyone involved in the music scene knows that Ellen Doty is one of the hardest-working,
talented artists on the scene. Her voice is soft, sweet, confident and assured, and combines her
deep love of jazz with the influences of the great singer-songwriters of our time. With an
honesty and warmth that sets her apart from so many artists, Doty is an emerging Canadian
talent who is clearly one to watch for 2017 and beyond. “
CBC Music, Top Canadian Jazz Musicians Under 35 List (June 2017)

“Whether she was offering a new song (Passing Mile), a personal, heartfelt ballad (Just So You
Know) or a standard (I’ve Got You Under My Skin), Doty displayed grace in full measure. She
can interpret a song in captivating fashion, or prove she’s capable and measures deep in the
genre with a mashup of her own Say You Will combined with the timeless Stand By Me. A
young artist to watch, given she’s only one full-length album into her career..”
Dan St. Yves, Calgary Herald, Live Performance Review, David Myles Double Bill (April 2016)
“…[I]t feels like an immediate, handmade,
warm-hearted statement, one that uses the
personal touch to reveal all sides of a performer
who seems ready for her true Canadian coming
out, with a voice that honeycoats every word it
sings in her easy, sweet ’n’ sunny crossover jazzpop.”
Mike Bell, Calgary Herald , “Gold” Album Review (May 2014)
“Timeless vocals, torch songs and a
charisma to boot, this is a beautiful CD
in all aspects. Production, song content,
musicians and vocal performance – a 20
out of 10. A must for your collection.”
Sandy Graham, Cashbox Magazine, about first album “Gold” (May 2014)
