Taivi’s debut album, Rising Tide, (produced by Claire Lynch) launched to critical and popular acclaim – posting in the top 25 of the International Folk DJ Chart, and charting in the Top Contemporary Folk Albums. 

​

While dedicating much of her life to social justice, behind the scenes Taivi's music was gaining traction. Beyond classical and popular music, she was immersed in folk-roots traditions from North America, Latin America and Scandinavia, dove into ancient Indonesian gamelan music, and explored choral work. More and more she was drawn to writing songs. 

 

Taivi is Toronto-based with ancestral roots in Estonia - a nation known for having changed its destiny through a “singing revolution.” She carries the genes.   

 

Her music  can convey her close connection to the land, reflect experiences of those close to her, speak of things left unsaid, and at times - express the joy of being here.  

 

Her project, “Beyond the Walls,” was recorded & filmed in the first year of the pandemic with photographs submitted from around the world.
