Heidi Lange’s musical pursuit began at a young age, when she studied violin and piano and sang with her church’s worship band. Directing a musical in association with her church and a Toronto-based theatre company, Lange had the opportunity to work with children and young adults, which led to a decision to return to school to study music with plans to become a teacher. During this time, Lange also became very active in her local theatre scene, performing in English-style music hall productions, as well as classic musicals like Hair and Godspell. She also played the leading role of Queen in the Canadian premiere of the gritty, Tony-award winning musical The Life. After graduating from Mohawk College’s Applied Music program, she began working at a music school and was soon teaching full-time. While teaching voice, Lange was rarely using her own, and in 2006, made a long-desired decision to move to Toronto to pursue a performing career. Shortly after, she released her debut album Later which features some of Canada’s most talented and respected musicians: Peter Kadar and Robi Botos share piano duties, Mark Inneo on drums, Collin Barrett on bass, Alexis Baro on trumpet, Pat Carey on sax and vocalists Chris Tsujiuchi and Justin Bacchus.
