With nine albums to her credit, Washington began her musical career in her home town of Prince George. Her vocal diversity lent itself to performances of blues, swing jazz and funk with BOP, a band from the Prince George region.
Washington released her most recent album, Harvest Moon, last year.
Washington has also worked as a singer-songwriter, vocal instructor and performed main stage for four years at the Prince George International Folk Fest.
Now based in Victoria, Washington continues to create new musical avenues and is blessed with a growing entourage of fans as she performs with duos, sextets and solo artists, including singing backup on Canadian Folk legend Valdy’s 2011 album, Read Between the Lines.
