Joni NehRita is a multi-instrumentalist, self-produced singer/songwriter & arranger. The Jamaican-Canadian artist writes songs that explore themes of universal love, social justice and cultivating imagination and compassion. Her 4th full length album, ‘Love & Protest’ is a blend of soul, jazz & Afro-Latin/Caribbean grooves and was written, produced and mixed entirely by NehRita. 

In addition to being a performer, NehRita is a TEDxED & Keynote Speaker and has been a music educator for over 20 years, teaching both privately as well as in workshop/masterclass format in high schools & universities including University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University and Seneca at York. Always working on exciting projects, this year she was commissioned to design an online creative arts “zine” for teens for Idea Exchange/Cambridge Libraries. She was also commissioned to compose & create choral arrangements of 3 songs for Cameron Heights C.I.’s choir.

This is the first event in the “Sounds Good To Me” performing songwriter series, presented by Jack Cooper at KWLT, July–September 2022.
