BIOGRAPHY
Rania Toli is a singer, composer and songwriter from Greece. With emphasis in jazz, her music always combines elements from different parts of the world as well as her country.
Rania started her journey in music when she was 8 years old. She is the first generation of musicians in her family. Her first instrument was the piano but soon enough she started singing and decided that her calling was to be a jazz singer. Even though she is now studying and pursuing a music career, Rania initially studied as an optician and optometrist and worked various jobs before coming to Berklee college of music. Simultaneously she was a part of many different bands and worked as a session musician from more than 10 years. To this day, she has performed more than 500 concerts.
Rania is known for her great work ethic and collaboration spirit. During her studies at Berklee she was won awards for her academic excellence as a singer and a student. To this day she remains focused on her work and tries to balance between the many aspects of her career.
Rania’s newest project is composing and arranging her own album and releasing her music for the first time.
