Georgia began playing piano at age six, and began playing the upright bass at age 14, developing a strong interest in jazz music in the process. Encouraged by her Double Bass instructors, Georgia completed her Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies from Capilano University in 2007.

While at Capilano University, Georgia was fortunate to play and study alongside future Juno award nominees and winners such as Bria Skonberg and Amanda Tosoff. During this time, Georgia also played and recorded with several international greats, including Evan Arntzen and Simon Stribling. After graduation, Georgia extensively toured North America and Europe with numerous jazz Bands prior to settling in the Calgary area in 2011. Georgia specializes in Traditional Hot New Orleans Style Jazz, having played with various Trad or Dixieland jazz bands, including Hopping Mad and Big Bang Jazz Band. She also has a strong familiarity with Western Swing, having developed a vast repertoire of this music while in Calgary.

Over the years, she has honed her skills as a bass player in styles influenced by bassists such as Slam Stewart and Pops Foster. After more than 15 years since she last attended university, Georgia is excited to begin working towards the MMus of Jazz Performance Degree at the University of Toronto. Georgia’s current music interests include hot jazz performance history, solo bass performance repertoire, equity and diversity in jazz, and any tune that swings.
