Tine Bruhn is a jazz vocalist with extensive solo and ensemble experience.
Born in 1978, Tine grew up belonging to the Danish minority in Flensburg, Germany. At the age of 15 she founded the a cappella group "Kvart I Fire" which gained high recognition in Denmark and Germany, especially after its release of the CD "Go 4 it" in 1996. The group kept an average of 3 performances a week during their high school years and they were requested at many official functions as well as private parties. Additionally Tine sang in classical choirs including the highly renowned semi-professional youth choir “Landes Jugend Chor Schleswig Holstein” and “Jugend Kammer Chor Flensburg”. Around that time she discovered her passion for jazz and started getting solo gigs.
Tine moved to Boston in 1998 to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music from which she graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Music.
In Boston she continued performing in a cappella settings, one of them being the "Vocal Jazz Ensemble" under the direction of Sharon Broadley-Martin, a Vox One member. She studied with Sheryl Bentyne from Manhattan Transfer, Walter Beasley, recording artist, Richard Evans, Grammy award winning arranger, and legendary scat educator Bob Stoloff.
After moving to New York City in 2001, Tine put together a group of excellent up and coming musicians. She performs jazz standards and R&B classics along with originals and contemporary instrumental pieces to which she has written lyrics. The focus is to combine elements of jazz and R&B through the scope of her own European style.
Tine is currently recording her debut solo album. Best described as "mellow, at times funky, with strong jazz influences", this record features some of the best players in New York City recording a true live-feel album. The musicians are Maurice Brown - trumpet, Daniela Schaechter - piano, Marco Panascia - bass, Greg Hutchinson - drums. Recorded at Acoustic Recording Studio in Brooklyn.
