Patrick Felixson is a straight-ahead jazz vocalist devoted to Black American music, bringing his own soul to the Great American Songbook through the lens of his lived experience. Known for his rich, bright, and nimble tenor voice — with a slight gravel that adds depth and romantic elegance — Felixson blends the traditional with the modern, creating performances that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Patrick Felixson's musical foundation is rooted in the church and shaped by six years of international performance across Russia, the United States, and Canada. From local bars and pubs in Kursk, Russia, to Fredericton and Toronto, he has spent countless nights on the bandstand, mentored by musicians who instilled in him a deep respect for the tradition. His performances balance reverence and emotional honesty, honoring the masters who came before him while carving out space for his own voice. Felixson’s love for jazz began as early as the age of six or seven, with the standard "Satin Doll" from the Ella Fitzgerald sings the Duke Ellington songbook. “Ella was probably the first singer who really captivated me,” he recalls. That moment sparked a lifelong connection to Black American music, that, for him, felt like home. He has since performed at iconic venues like The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar, The Emmet Ray Jazz & Whisky Bar, Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Birdland etc, sharing the stage with acclaimed musicians such as JUNO award-winning saxophonist Joel Miller, acclaimed composer, arranger and pianist Billy Stritch, JUNO award-winning pianist Howard Baer etc. From Fredericton’s Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival circuit to stages all across, Patrick Felixson is steadily establishing himself as one of the most exciting voices in jazz today. Felixson’s debut single, “Something to Live For,” is a personal tribute to one of his favorite composers, the great Billy Strayhorn. The track features award-winning pianist Emanuel Filippi. Felixson’s debut Mini-LP “Presenting The Swinging, The Sighing, The Soulful: Patrick Felixson” is available on all streaming platforms as well as for purchase on Bandcamp.
