Bassels is a Toronto-born singer, bandleader and songwriter of jazz, blues, and music off the beaten path. Her music career was conceived at the age of 13, when she heard Nina Simone's "My Baby Just Cares For Me" on the speakers in a crowded HMV store. Since discovering jazz, Bassels has been influenced by singers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Peggy Lee and Amy Winehouse. It was when Bassels moved to Switzerland that she fell into performing jazz in clubs. Upon returning to Canada, Bassels enrolled in Humber College for the vocal jazz program and have since released an EP entitled "Gypsy Summer". Her group has performed at jazz festivals and clubs across Ontario, such as the Beaches and Toronto Jazz Festivals, Gate 403, Revival, and the Rivoli.
