Fuat Tuaç began his musical journey in Istanbul, initially studying law and working as a lawyer in Türkiye, the United Kingdom, and France. However, in 2011 he decided to follow his true passion and moved to Canada to study jazz at Concordia University.
Fluent in six languages, Fuat Tuaç soon began performing in leading jazz clubs in Montreal and Toronto, steadily building his career in the Canadian jazz scene.
In 2017, he released his debut album Late Bloomer, featuring reinterpretations of beloved jazz standards. His second album, Immigrant (2022), consists mostly of original compositions and reflects his personal experiences as an immigrant living in Toronto. The album also includes a duet with one of Canada’s leading vocalists, Kim Richardson, on the track “Chez Moi”. Both albums received critical acclaim worldwide, with Immigrant reaching No. 11 on Canadian jazz charts and No. 17 on American jazz charts, and its tracks continuing to receive regular radio play globally. Jazz Weekly described the album as “a discovery in global jazz history, blending urban poetry from Canada with Turkish street flavors.”
With a 3-octave vocal range and performances in six languages, Fuat Tuaç offers a musical feast featuring a repertoire ranging from Frank Sinatra and Edith Piaf to Ayten Alpman and Sting.
