Tringa Rexhepi

Tringa was born in Gjilan, Kosovo to artist/musician parents. In 1999, at 8-years-old, Tringa and her family fled war-torn Kosovo and came to Halifax, Nova Scotia as refugees. On a strict diet of 90’s R’N’B, American cartoons and a little bit o’ Shakespeare, Tringa was speaking and more importantly singing in English in months. She became an active member of the east-coast music, arts and culture scene as an award-winning vocalist and theatre artist. Her work garnered her a number of scholarships and she had the opportunity to study at top performing arts schools in Canada and in New York. Tringa has performed with some of Canada’s brightest stars including Keshia Chante and Jackie Richardson. One of her brightest moments was singing back-up vocals for Josh Groban at the Air Canada Centre. As a solo artist, she has performed at events, benefits and award functions in Canada, the United States and in Europe. Tringa has been featured by numerous media outlets including CTV News and CBC National as a singer that is “going places” and on international television singing in her native tongue. Through her live performances, Tringa has generated a large Canadian fan base, as well as an Albanian one, in North America and all over Europe. Tringa divides her time between Toronto and Halifax. She recently released her debut EP to a sold-out audience at the Supermarket in Toronto. For her single "Go" Tringa was chosen as Singers Universe's top 5 singer of the month!
