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 songs can convey her close connection to the land, reflect experiences of those close to her, speak of things left unsaid, or simply express the joy of being here.  

 

Her project, “Beyond the Walls,” was a collaborative venture bringing together people and their visions and photographs from many parts of the world.

Taivi voice can be heard at Toronto's Heliconian Hall or Tranzac Club, in Ontario's Canadian Shield country, or in a 30,000 voice choir in Tallinn. Most recently she's been having a great time with "Lightning Hill" - a dynamic bolt of fiddle, mandolin, guitar and bass with vocals in the lead!
