 Heidi Tann Born and raised in the Philippines, Heidi discovered her musical gift and the joy of entertaining at a young age. As she developed her voice and craft over the years, she has set her sights on releasing an album that reflects her musical style—smooth and pop jazz, with a mix of bossa nova and Latin jazz, plus R&B. Heidi is no stranger to performing in international venues. After completing her Bachelor’s degree from Manila at age 22, she immediately chased her dream, embarking on solo gigs throughout Asia. This path saw her performing in musical venues in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Guam. What makes Heidi different? “Her cultural heritage and her experience. The sum total of her experience enables Heidi to bring depth to the songs she performs. In addition to her original music, you can find Heidi covering your favorite artist at live festivals, private parties, and at your favorite corporate events. Heidi Tann delivers with her latest single, “Island Summer (On My Mind)” with Kinsman Dazz Band. Matt Horowich’s saxophone sets the tone, smooth and soulful, like the perfect soundtrack to a lazy afternoon by the beach. Guitars by Chris Cuda and Vic Smiley blend seamlessly with Pete Tokar’s lush keyboards, strings, and percussion, creating an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and alive. And let’s not forget the steel drums and marimba played by Duncan Crooks—these touches add that irresistible island flavor that makes you feel like you’ve just stepped into vacation mode and the background vocals of Michael J Calhoun, Chris Cuda, and Wayne Preston. What brings this track to life is Heidi’s voice, warm and inviting, flowing effortlessly. Blending smooth jazz, R&B, and tropical vibes, the song feels like a serene escape, similar to Sade and Norah Jones' styles.
