Jazz / blues vocalist, acoustic soul singer/songwriter, and recording artist Bev Zizzy has been part of the music scene in Saskatchewan for over four decades. She has been recognized for artistic contributions to her community with a YWCA Woman of Distinction in the Arts Award, and has been frequently supported by Sask Music in her creative endeavours. Her albums, EP’s and single releases are available on all digital streaming platforms.
She is also an extensive global traveler, multi-linguist, dedicated yogi, and an award-winning language teacher (BA.Hon, Soc. BEd,Fr. MEd,Eng).
As a yoga teacher, Bev Zizzy was the founding President of the Saskatchewan Yoga Association in 1976, for which she was acknowledged in the book Om Canada: An Intimate Glimpse at Yoga’s Firsts (V Petrich, 2020).
Although her teaching domain eventually shifted from yoga studios to classrooms, she has continued her yoga studies in several disciplines and countries around the world, and has maintained a lifelong practice.
These studies, along with a keen interest in the genre of kirtan/sacred music - that of creatively interpreting mantras from a diverse range of Eastern mystical traditions - have continued to shape her artistic evolution. This evolution is most apparent in her ethereal, eight minute long, 2025 single, I’m Already There (in which she also debuts her harmonica), and in her 2024 single September, which is a tribute to nature and its teachings, featuring her acoustic guitar and vocals.
This creative, mantra inspired musical direction will be apparent again in her upcoming 2026 single release I Can’t Look Away currently in production. And so, the musical journey continues . . .
