Tina Hashemi is a gifted jazz vocalist who performs regularly with her own band throughout Virginia at a variety of venues. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia, where she studied jazz vocal performance under Stephanie Nakasian and John D’earth. She also studied, separately, with Danielle Wertz. Her pure, unaffected tone, her sense of swing, and her creativity as an improviser with big ears and stores of imagination has made her a favorite with some of the most advanced musicians in the Virginia/D.C. area. Paul Langosch, who played with Tony Bennet for decades, Daniel Clarke, who was KD Lang’s pianist, and tenor saxophonist Charles Owens are now colleagues and fans of the sweet sensibility she brings to classic jazz standards and the Great American Songbook. In 2024, Tina was awarded 3rd place in the international Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition that was judged by the New York Voices.

Tina is in the process of recording a new album with some old and newfound musical friends. Her growth as an emerging artist continues as she explores her own unique voice in jazz music.
