Singer, actor, model, dancer, firebreather, target shooter and body positive advocate . A proud, queer, plus size, woman of colour, she's not just a bombshell - she's the whole damn ARSENAL.
Ivory grew up in a musical family that predominantly played jazz and the blues. As a child, she traded weekly piano lessons to complete 10 years of classical vocal training to hone her craft.
Singer
After a successful foray into the Toronto Hip Hop scene, Ivory returned to her Jazz/Blues roots full time in 2010 following the release of her self-produced album, Satisfy Ambition [currently available on Itunes]. With a sultry voice that harkens to an era of speakeasy’s and smoky clubs, Ivory breathes new life into Jazz standards and contemporary Jazz renditions she performs from coast to coast.
